Student experience
“Taking the MA Art in the Contemporary World was one of the most rewarding life choices that I’ve made. This intense year of conversation, thinking and research set me up with the confidence to pursue and sustain a career in the arts. ACW offers a chance to expand and develop your position within contemporary arts practice. The year’s work continues to inform my work and ideas.”
–Emma Lucy O’Brien, Curator, Visual Centre of Contemporary Art, Carlow, Ireland
“ACW was a good stepping stone for me into the art world. Coming from an English literature background, I really wanted to learn about contemporary art. The course content was great, I got a solid critical understanding of the field and really enjoyed working on assignments. Aside from that, there was a huge amount of networking which really helped embed me into the art world in Dublin and farther afield.”
–Emma Dwyer, Communications Manager, EVA International: Ireland’s Biennale, Limerick
