Limerick School of Art & Design (LSAD) is the largest art and design centre outside Dublin with students from all over Ireland. LSAD has an award-winning reputation in Ceramics, Fashion, Visual Communications, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture & Combined Media and Teacher Education. The programmes are offered at Honours Degree (Level 8). We also run a higher diploma in teacher education and research and taught postgraduate programmes up to Masters (Level 9) and PhD (Level 10). A significant factor in our success is our student-orientated philosophy. Incoming students share a common first year that is predominantly diagnostic. This enables you to become literate in the language of art and design, and allows you to make informed choices for your future career.
