Welcome

Welcome Welcome to the IADT prospectus. I hope you will consider coming to study at IADT. IADT is unique in Ireland; we have a clear vision and mission to specialise in creativity and innovation as expressed in the arts, technology and entrepreneurship. We work with learners as partners to develop graduates who are innovative, creative, entrepreneurial and adaptable, and who can meet the challenges of an ever changing digital age. Our interdisciplinary portfolio of programmes includes the creative arts, design, digital media, entrepreneurship, technology and applied psychology. This portfolio of subjects reflects the nature of our cross disciplinary learning environment and our innovative project work and engagement in the creative and cultural industries sector, which portrays our unique vision and mission. What that would mean for you as a student is that you will be working in a creative, challenging and exciting environment, meeting and exchanging thoughts with students from other subjects to create innovative ideas and projects. Our programmes have your chosen subject or discipline at their core, but all are set within the unique IADT environment which blends the creative, the technical, and the digital space with good entrepreneurial skills. This experience is supported by our great staff many of whom are key leaders in their field. Amongst our staff, working to help you succeed in your programme are active researchers, technologists, developers, designers, creative practitioners, entrepreneurs and writers. IADTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorandum of Understanding with University College Dublin (UCD) has led to a new range of projects for our staff and students to work in partnership with UCD in areas such as Model making, Design and Psychology. We have also developed a number of other partnerships with organisations in the creative, cultural, technological and enterprise sectors. These offer real world experience and applied research opportunities for our students whether in the design and production of an opera, the running of a Dragons Den or the organisation of a conference on Cyberpsychology or Cultural Studies. Our new National Film School building opened in autumn 2013 offering state of the art film and television production and research facilities which are a great addition to the campus. Our National Film School lecture series offers all students at IADT the opportunity to hear from renowned actors, producers, filmmakers, editors, animators and designers. The Institute is committed to providing the best opportunities for all of our students and IADT graduates have gone on to establish successful careers in a variety of professions. We are committed to providing programmes and training that provide the skills that are needed to meet and exceed the needs of industry and help move Ireland into the next stage of its development. Industry tells us they need graduates who are flexible, adaptable and creative and that those key skills are an important part of all IADT programmes. At IADT we are not just about offering you high quality programmes, we are committed to developing you as an individual, as an independent thinker who can think deeply and critically about the world in which you live, and make a valuable contribution to that world.

iadt Postgraduate and Professional Development Prospectus 2015

Welcome

IADT has the breadth of curriculum to produce students who will meet the needs of these industries; from designers and creative practitioners to film makers, animators, storytellers, cultural theorists, technologists, psychologists and entrepreneurs. IADT graduates have been successful nationally and internationally in the Creative and Cultural Industries, in the Sciences and Arts, Technology and in the Business World, and have contributed to the social and political life of communities and nations. Some of our students want to go on to further study, and opportunities exist at IADT for further postgraduate study and research in each of the faculties in areas as diverse as Cyberpsychology, Visual Arts, Public Cultures, Event Management, Screenwriting and Broadcast Production. IADT is part of the European Erasmus exchange programme offering many students the opportunity to study part of their programme in a European institution. We currently have exchanges with a number of European countries including France, Germany, Spain, Finland Hungary, Portugal and Turkey. This year we have had a successful partnership with Canada and Brazil and have welcomed students from those nations onto campus. Many of our students travel to conferences and events, both national and international as part of their studies to learn and share ideas and practices with others. We know that making the transition and thriving in higher education can be challenging, and a comprehensive range of advice and support staff and services are available to you while you are at IADT to help you make the most of your studies and to support you through any difficulties. We also know that at IADT you will have an enjoyable social and cultural experience where you will make lifelong friendships. IADT has a thriving Student Union and a range of clubs and societies to help you to enjoy the social side of studying in Higher Education. The IADT campus also provides a beautiful and relaxing environment in which to study and belong. I look forward to welcoming you on campus for an exciting new journey that will offer you the chance to study the subject that is your passion, have new experiences and find new ways of thinking. I look forward to meeting you at one of our Open Days. IADT also holds our Creative Technologies Showcase in May and the Creative Arts graduate exhibition in June where we welcome the opportunity to show off the wonderful work that goes on at IADT. We believe IADT is exciting and unique; we would love you to be a part of that. Dr Annie Doona President

Fáilte

Fáilte Fáilte chuig réamheolaire IADT Tá súil agam go smaoineoidh tú ar staidéar a dhéanamh linn anseo in IADT. Institiúid ar leith í IADT in Éirinn; tá fís agus misean soiléir againn agus ar ár réimsí speisialtóireachta tá an chruthaitheacht agus an nuálaíocht sna healaíona, sa teicneolaíocht agus sa fhiontraíocht. Oibrímid le foghlaimeoirí mar a bheimis ag obair le comhpháirtithe agus forbraíonn na mic léinn scileanna nuálaíochta, fiontraíochta agus bíonn siad solúbtha nuair a bhaineann siad a gcáilíochtaí amach agus nuair a théann siad i ngleic leis an saol sa ré dhigiteach shíorathraitheach ina bhfuilimid ag cónaí. Áirítear inár gcláir idirdhisciplíneacha na healaíona cruthaitheacha, dearadh, na meáin dhigiteacha, fiontraíocht, teicneolaíocht agus síceolaíocht fheidhmeach. Is léiriú an tsraith ilghnéitheach ábhar sin ar thimpeallacht idirdhisciplíneach foghlama na hinstitiúide, ar an obair nuálaíoch tionscadail a bhíonn ar bun againn agus ar ár rannpháirtíocht le hearnálacha na dtionscal cruthaitheach agus cultúrtha – léiriú ar an bhfís agus ar an misean ar leith againn. Duitse mar mhac léinn, ciallaíonn sé sin go mbeidh tú ag obair i dtimpeallacht chruthaitheach, dhúshlánach, spreagúil, ag bualadh le mic léinn eile agus ag roinnt do chuid smaointe leo chun smaointe agus tionscadail nuálaíocha a chruthú. Cé go mbeidh an t-ábhar nó an disciplín a roghnaigh tú ag croílár do chláir staidéir, beidh gnéithe eile measctha leis sin, sa timpeallacht speisialta a chruthaímid in IADT le meascán de ghnéithe cruthaitheacha agus teicniúla, cuirtear spás digiteach ar fáil agus forbraítear scileanna maithe fiontraíochta freisin. Anuas air sin, bíonn sárthaithí sa tionscal ag ár bhfoireann – a bhformhór ar ceannairí iad i pé réimse saineolais a bhíonn á theagasc acu. I measc na foirne, a bheidh ag obair chun cuidiú leat barr feabhais a bhaint amach i do chlár staidéir, tá taighdeoirí, teicneolaithe, forbróirí, dearthóirí, cleachtóirí cruthaitheacha, fiontraithe agus scríbhneoirí. Mar thoradh ar Mheabhrán Tuisceana IADT leis an gColáiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath, tá raon nua tionscadal anois ar bun ag an bhfoireann agus ag na mic léinn, a bhíonn á reáchtáil i gcomhpháirt le UCD i réimsí amhail déanadh Samhlacha, Dearadh agus Síceolaíocht. Chomh maith leis sin, d’fhorbraíomar roinnt comhpháirtíochtaí le heagraíochtaí sna hearnálacha cruthaitheacha, cultúrtha, teicneolaíochta agus fiontraíochta. Cuireann siad seo fíorthaithí saoil agus deiseanna don taighde feidhmeach ar fáil do na mic léinn, bíodh sin i ndearadh agus léiriú ceoldráma nó reáchtáil Dragons Den nó eagrú comhdhála maidir le Cibearshíceolaíocht nó Staidéir Chultúir. D’oscail ár Scoil Náisiúnta Scannánaíochta nua a doirse i bhfómhar na bliana 2013 – scoil ina bhfuil áiseanna úrscothacha scannánaíochta, léiriúcháin teilifíse agus taighde agus is mór an méid atá curtha ag an scoil nua seo lenár gcampas. Cuireann ár Scoil Náisiúnta Scannánaíochta sraith léachtaí ar fáil do gach mac léinn atá ag staidéar in IADT agus is féidir leo éisteacht le haisteoirí, léiritheoirí, scannánóirí, eagarthóirí, beochantóirí agus dearthóirí cáiliúla. Bímid ar ár ndícheall san institiúid na deiseanna is fearr agus is féidir a sholáthar dár mic léinn agus tá a lán de chéimithe IADT tar éis gairmeacha den scoth a bhaint amach i slite beatha éagsúla. Táimid tiomanta de cláir agus oiliúint a sholáthar a chuireann na scileanna ar fáil do na mic léinn a mbeidh gá acu leo chun bheith ag obair sa tionsal agus cion a dhéanamh ar son na hÉireann ó thaobh an tír a bhrú ar aghaidh chuig an gcéad chéim eile dá forbairt.

2014 iadt Postgraduate and Professional Development Prospectus 2015

Cuireann an tionscal fáilte i gcónaí roimh chéimithe atá solúbtha, a bhíonn in ann a scileanna a chur in oiriúint dá bpost agus atá cruthaitheach, agus deirtear linn go mbíonn an raon scileanna sin ag céimithe a bhaineann cáilíochtaí amach ar chláir IADT. Ní hé amháin go mbíonn cláir ardchaighdeáin á soláthar ag IADT, ach táimid tiomanta de freisin an mac léinn a fhorbairt mar dhuine, mar smaointeoir criticiúil ar féidir leis nó léi an saol timpeall orthu a mheas go criticiúil agus cion luachmhar a dhéanamh ar son an phobail dá réir. Tá curaclam IADT leathan go leor chun na scileanna sin a chothú a mbíonn an tionscal á lorg – bíodh sin ó dhearthóirí, cleachtóirí cruthaitheacha, scannánóirí, beochantóirí, scéalaithe, teoricithe cultúrtha, teicneolaithe, síceolaithe nó fiontraithe. Bíonn rath ar chéimithe IADT ar bhonn náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta araon sna tionscail Chruthaitheacha agus Chultúrtha, sna hEolaíochtaí agus sna hEalaíona, sa Teicneolaíocht agus i Saol an Ghnó, agus cuireann siad go mór leis an saol sóisialta agus polaitiúil i measc an phobail agus ar fud na tíre. Bíonn roinnt dár mic léinn a bhíonn ag iarraidh tuilleadh staidéir a dhéanamh agus bíonn deiseanna ann in IADT tabhairt faoin staidéar iarchéime agus faoin taighde i réimsí ilchineálacha mar shampla Cibearshíceolaíocht, Físealaíona, Cultúir Phoiblí, Bainistiú Imeachtaí, Scríbhneoireacht Scáileáin agus Léiriúchán Craoltóireachta. Glacann IADT páirt i gclár malairte Eorpach Erasmus agus bíonn an deis ag a lán mac léinn staidéar thar lear mar chuid dá gclár in institiúid Eorpach. Faoi láthair bíonn malairtí ar siúl againn le tíortha Eorpacha éagsúla – ina measc tá an Fhrainc, an Ghearmáin, an Spáinn, an Fhionlainn, an Phortaingéil agus an Tuirc. D’éirigh thar barr i mbliana le comhpháirtíocht eadrainn agus Ceanada agus an Bhrasaíl agus tháinig mic léinn ó na tíortha sin chugainn chun bheith ag staidéar ar an gcampas. Taistealaíonn roinnt mhaith dár mic léinn chuig comhdhálacha agus imeachtaí, náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta araon, mar chuid den staidéar acu chun bheith ag foghlaim agus chun smaointe is cleachtais a roinnt le daoine eile. Tuigimid gur mór an dúshlán é bheith ag aistriú ón iar-bhunscoil chuig an ardoideachas agus gur féidir leis an timpeallacht a bheith dúshlánach. Dá bhrí sin, tá raon cuimsitheach de sheirbhísí comhairleacha agus de thacaí ar fáil ón bhfoireann le linn do thréimhse in IADT chun cuidiú leat agus tú i mbun staidéir nó i gcás go mbíonn aon deacrachtaí agat. Tá fhios againn freisin go mbeidh an deis agat taitneamh a bhaint as na gnéithe sóisialta agus cultúrtha a bhaineann le do thréimhse agus go dtosóidh tú cairdis le daoine eile a mhairfidh ar feadh do shaoil. Tá Aonas Mac Léinn den scoth ann in IADT a bhíonn i mbun raon clubanna agus cumann a reáchtáil ionas go mbeidh tú in ann taitneamh a bhaint as an taobh sóisialta de do thréimhse linn. Campas álainn, suaimhneach é campas IADT. Tá mé ag súil go mór fáilte a chur romhat agus tú ag tosú amach ar á’r gcampas agus ar d’aistear nua agus beidh an deis agat dul i mbun do phaisin, taithí a fháil ar ghnéithe nua sa saol agus smaoineamh ar bhealaí nua. Tá mé ag tnúth go mór bualadh leat ag ceann de na Laethanta Oscailte. Bíonn Taispeántas de Theicneolaíochtaí Cruthaitheacha á reáchtáil freisin ag IADT i mí Bealtaine chomh maith le taispeántas na gcéimithe sna hEalaíona Cruthaitheacha a bhíonn ar siúl i mí an Mheithimh, agus cuirimid an deis ar fáil duit teacht agus breathnú ar an tsárobair a bhíonn ar bun in IADT. Dar linn, is áit spreagúil ar leith í IADT; ba bhreá linn dá nglacfá páirt san eispéireas sin. An Dr Annie Doona Uachtarán

This programme is suitable for anyone who wonders what the psychological basis is for cyberbullying or why social networking sites and online media are so popular. The programme aims to provide graduates with an in-depth understanding of how humans interact with technology and in online environments. Classes are held over two academic years and involve online learning and classes which can be a mix of lectures, videos, practical work and informal discussions around important topics in cyberpsychology. Students complete a research project during the second year, and are encouraged to present their work through conference papers and journal articles. There is also a series of study skills seminars including essay writing, referencing and researching. Students are required to complete assignments during the year, but there are no end-of-year examinations.

Student Profile

Aveen Moran

Programme: MSc in Cyberpsychology After a significant break from studying I started the Masters in Cyberpsychology in September, 2011. I had a background in computer science and an interest in psychology so it promised to be an interesting course and very relevant to today’s increasingly automated society. It definitely lived up to its promise with the modules touching on so many aspects of everyday life. While there is a significant amount of work required for the assignments, I became engrossed in it as the course content was so topical and stimulating. This course is for people who are selfmotivated and will put in the effort into each of the tasks. There is a major learning curve but there is a great sense of achievement (and relief) when each task is completed. I enjoyed our lectures and appreciated the nature of the small classes. I got to know each of the lecturers and the class of students the year above and the year below mine. All the lecturers are extremely approachable and classmates are very willing to assist with any work that needs to be done.

“Living close to IADT, I have been able to take advantage of the facilities including the Library and the computer facilities. While our lectures are at off- peak quiet times – it is certainly a different campus when the full-time undergraduates are there – buzzing and full of life.” At the moment, I am hoping to seek a new job over the summer. I feel that I have a number of options – working in the IT sector, working with schools on their e-learning strategies, or working with companies on their data retention policies. Studying for my MSc in Cyberpsychology has been a very fulfilling experience and one that I would thoroughly recommend.

A radio producer has overall responsibility for editorial content and leads the radio programme team. This normally includes a researcher, a sound desk operator, a production assistant and a programme co-ordinator. The producer has overall control of editorial content depending on the programme genre. This can include current affairs topics, guest selection, overseeing research, writing scripts, choosing music inclusions, briefing the presenter and co-ordinating the team before the programme goes to air. The producer â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;drivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the programme from the studio control room as it is live on air, ensuring the presenter is fully briefed at all times and that item durations are carefully monitored. Nowadays, as radio has become interactive with its public, the producer also has editorial control over phone call selection or choosing texts for the presenter to broadcast. There is a national demand for a short radio production course at an industry standard level, delivered by professionals for aspirant producers.

Directorate of Creativity, Innovation and Research IADTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision as an autonomous Institute of Art, Design and Technology with a specialist mission is to support learning, teaching, research and innovation, and to play a leading role in the development of industries focusing on the creative, cultural and digital technologies sectors. The Directorate of Creativity, Innovation and Research has recently been established to drive the further development of research and innovation at IADT, to enhance our support infrastructure and funding for start-up enterprises in the fields of technology and digital media, develop new sources of research and development funding, and to maximise our engagement with industry. Three main areas are relevant to postgraduate and professional development, namely Research, Innovation and Enterprise and Part-time Programmes.

Research The Directorate of Creativity, Innovation and Research promotes and coordinates research at IADT in accordance with IADT Research policy and Strategic Plan. Research is actively conducted within our 2 faculties. IADT has led and participated in many EU and Nationally funded projects in areas such as Mobile Technology, mLearning, Pedagogy, Entrepreneurship, Creative Arts and Media and Assistive Technologies. IADT is currently engaged in a number of EU Horizon 2020 funding bids in collaboration with universities and enterprises in Europe.

Masters by Research To be eligible for consideration to undertake a programme of study for a Masters (Research), a candidate must have obtained a standard of at least Second Class Honours in an approved primary degree or equivalent. Normally the duration of studies leading to the degree of Masters (Research) is two academic years from the date of admission on the Masters register. Students will complete a taught module in research methodologies module and will have at least 2 designated research supervisors. They will have access to IADT facilities including library, computers, a hot-desk study office and student services. A research student travel fund exists. IADT is interested to hear from prospective Post-Graduate students at any time but we aim to have two calls per year where we advertise Research Projects which applicants may wish to apply for. We also invite proposals originated by applicants at these times. In this latter case applicants may propose ideas and IADT will attempt to find matching supervisors. Depending on funding availability, fees remission and/or stipends may be available and this will be made clear at the time of each call. A number of IOTI funded Postgraduate Research Scholarships may be available within certain topics. Where stipends and fees remission are not available fees are payable. For more information please contact our research administrator Linda Carroll on (01) 239 4644 or linda.carroll@iadt.ie.

Research Themes IADT conducts Post-Graduate Research up to Masters Level (Level 9) in the areas of Creative Arts and Media, Public Cultures, Entrepreneurship, Applied Psychology and Digital Technologies.

Research, Development & Innovation at IADT

Creative Arts and Media This cluster embraces disciplines that are practice-based and professionally oriented. This includes Visual Arts, Visual Communications, Photography, Film, Animation, Broadcast Media and Design for Stage, TV and Film. The National Film School is a recognised centre of excellence at IADT. A key aspect of programmes at IADT is the integration of theory and practice. In the domain of creative arts and media, IADT is distinctively well-placed to provide a research base that spans the spectrum from those who describe themselves as ‘practitioners’ or ‘artists’ to researchers working in the same field from well-established humanities backgrounds. Therefore, practicebased research and more traditional forms of academic research are carried out alongside these disciplines. IADT participation in the HEA PRTLI funded Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media (www. gradcam.ie) represents a significant opportunity to advance the work of the Creative Arts and Media cluster. The partners in this project are NCAD, DIT, IADT and University of Ulster.

Public Culture Studies/Entrepreneurship The Centre for Public Culture Studies (www.iadt.ie/publiccultures) functions as an ‘umbrella’ organisation for a variety of taught and research programmes as well as for on-going research and dissemination projects, and critical debates on relevant current issues. The Centre focuses on a number of key themes in the area of Public Culture Studies to reflect national, European and international agendas. The themes include: Work and Migration Citizenship and Identity Public Space Public Communication Public Arts and Cultural Interaction Public Policy Globalisation Public culture research seeks to interrogate the ways in which the public sphere, with all of its attendant cultures and conventions, has been created historically as well as altered under contemporary cultural, economic, political and social conditions.

Applied Psychology/Digital Technologies The Centre for Creative Technologies and Applications (CCTA) (www.ccta.iadt.ie/ccta/index. html) seeks to draw together the expertise and research interests of the academic staff and postgraduate students in the areas of Psychology and Technology. ‘Creative Technologies’ is concerned with people-centred technology in a digital environment. The CCTA’s goal, through both taught programmes and research is to explore the interaction of people and technology. This goal finds expression in a range of existing disciplines such as Audio/Visual Technologies, Gaming, Multimedia, Psychology, eLearning, Assistive Technologies, Teaching and Learning, eBusiness, and emerging disciplines such as Cyberpsychology.
