Course Overview

The Higher Diploma in Fine Art is a joint Burren College of Art/University of Galway programme based at the Burren College of Art.  It is equivalent to the American Post Baccalaureate programme and is known informally as the 'Post Bac'. Students of the Post Bac register as students of both Burren College of Art and University of Galway. The programme operates in association with the Royal College of Art, London, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, both of which provide visiging faculty to the programme.

The aim of the programme is to assist graduate students to identify their artistic identity and interests and to prepare them for the next step in their artistic careers.

Post Bac students have their own dedicated studio space at the Burren College of Art and the availability of all BCA faculty as appropriate.
