The Sculpture & Combined Media – BA (Hons) at the Technological University of The Shannon is designed for ambitious artists ready to explore the expansive possibilities of sculptural techniques and diverse media. You will develop a robust individual studio practice, engaging with taught workshops that build foundational sculptural skills while encouraging multi-media experimentation. This programme is ideal if you are passionate about not only creating art but also understanding the broader landscape of cultural production, including curation, public art, exhibition planning, and professional promotion within the arts sector. You will gain expertise in areas such as material processes, digital fabrication, and exhibition design.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, your learning will encompass a wide array of processes, from traditional mould-making and metalworking to contemporary digital fabrication and video production, with opportunities for electives in areas like sound art or public performance. The final year focuses on self-directed practice, culminating in a degree show, and offers pathways for internships, work experience, or European exchange programmes. You will graduate with a comprehensive skill-set ready for diverse careers in the creative industries or further postgraduate study, equipped for roles in gallery curation, public art commissions, or independent artistic practice.
