NCAD Portfolio Brief

To gain entry into third level courses at The National College of Art and Design, students must submit a portfolio of work based around a structured brief/project that is put forward by the college each year.  Below is the link to the brief for entry in 2012.  It is advisable that fifth year students who are interested in going to NCAD after they finish second level, should download the brief and begin work on the portfolio as soon as possible.  Students should attempt to get the brief finished over the summer period to avoid any unnecessary stress when students settle into sixth year this September.  The portfolio is to be submitted to NCAD by the end of January 2012.
