IADT as we now know it came into being in 2012, when three existing Schools were amalgamated to become two Faculties: the Faculty of Enterprise + Humanities, and the Faculty of Film, Art + Creative Technologies. However, our unique story is deeply rooted in the area and dates back well over fifty years! Is to continue to specialise in creativity and innovation as expressed in the arts, technolo...gy and entrepreneurship and to work with learners and stakeholders as partners to develop graduates who are innovative, creative, entrepreneurial and adaptable, and who are ready to meet the challenges of the digital age.
IADT is uniquely positioned in terms of our programmes and research. We are mission-focused and hold a distinct position within the higher education sector in Ireland as an Institute of Art, Design and Technology leading in programmes for the technological and the creative and cultural industries and sectors.
Given our unique and distinctive focus, our programme offering supports the development of the creative, entrepreneurial and technical skills of our students, vital for their future careers and for Ireland’s economic regeneration and development.
Our Strategic Plan 2014-2018 sets the objective of consolidating and enhancing our position as a specialised institute working in close partnership with industry and communities and other higher education institutions (HEIs) to educate students who can shape, change and develop industry and communities, and respond to changing societal needs.
Is to continue to specialise in creativity and innovation as expressed in the arts, technology and entrepreneurship and to work with learners and stakeholders as partners to develop graduates who are innovative, creative, entrepreneurial and adaptable, and who are ready to meet the challenges of the digital age.
The seed that was to grow into IADT began as a simple portfolio course for local school leavers, designed to prepare them for entry to art and design colleges. Successful from the outset, by the late 1960s this had evolved into the first art foundation course in Ireland. And that spirit of innovation, that determination to be at the vanguard of fresh thinking in creative education, continued... A further three-year course leading to a Diploma in Art and Design began, and by 1980, the Minister for Education gave NCEA recognition to the newly-established Dún Laoghaire College of Art and Design (DLCAD). The legislative establishment of the Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology in 1997 realised the long-held ambition of Dún Laoghaire VEC, the staff of DLCAD and the wider community to create a fully-fledged third-level Institute of Art, Design and Technology in the area. The vision that went on to become IADT was for an institution that would stand strong on the established foundation and reputation of its art, design and media courses, while embracing the new disciplines of humanities, technology and business.
As well as being a valued educational and enterprise partner at local level, IADT is respected and renowned nationally and internationally in the creative, cultural, entrepreneurial and digital media sectors. Student numbers have grown from 450 to 2500. Our plan is to grow to over 3000 students and continue to develop the campus and infrastructure. IADT is built on a history of understanding what is needed – both now and in the future – and taking action. That same spirit of enterprise, that sense of creative adventure and energy, is alive and well on the IADT campus today.
Ireland’s only institute of art, design and technology with a specific focus on the creative cultural and technological sectors, IADT is alive with ideas, innovation and entrepreneurial activity. Explore what’s on offer, and we hope you’ll decide that IADT is the perfect place for your third level adventure.
The Institute is committed to the provision of higher education of the highest quality, which is relevant to the needs of students and stakeholders, and which recognises the professional role of staff members. Providing accessible and flexible programmes, within a student-centred and supportive learning environment, is an important institutional objective and one which is reflected in the IADT Strategic Plan 2014-2018.
To ensure it is achieved, IADT is cognisant of the need to have effective planning processes, which consider relevant information and data; timely decision-making processes, with due authority; effective implementation of decisions taken, with careful monitoring and review; as well as the capacity to be consistent, and the capacity to respond to situations by embracing change as necessary.
The Institute has established an inclusive infrastructure by operating two intersecting organisational elements which focus on quality. Whilst the Institute adopts the philosophy that everyone is responsible for quality assurance, formal Executive responsibility for Quality Assurance (QA) resides with the Registrar. This responsibility is complemented by the work of the Quality Enhancement Sub-Committee, which operates on a collegial basis and advances many policies and procedures which have academic good practice and the student as a core value.
The Institute’s Quality Assurance Framework provides a clearly stated set of policies and procedures for the provision of quality services, and for the assessment and review of the provision of those services.
