GradCAM Information

The Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media (GradCAM) is an exciting collaborative initiative of national and all-island significance which builds on the expertise of the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), the National College of Art & Design (NCAD), the University of Ulster (UU), and the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dún Laoghaire (IADT). These institutions are working in close collaboration with each other and with a range of national and international networks to realise the Graduate School. The School is a shared space of structured doctoral studies and research support - what has come to be known as "fourth-level" education: the School is a centre for creative research development; the School is a framework for critical interdisciplinary dialogue; and the School operates as a permeable institution of enquiry that facilitates, promotes and leads the interaction between cultural practice, educational practice and the everyday world of work and innovation beyond the academy.
