IADT as we now know it came into being in 2012, when three existing Schools were amalgamated to become two Faculties: the Faculty of Enterprise + Humanities, and the Faculty of Film, Art + Creative Technologies. However, our unique story is deeply rooted in the area and dates back well over fifty years!
From full-time undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to accredited part time courses, IADT has earned the reputation as Ireland’s leading creative cultural and technological institute by consistently providing innovative, practical and relevant courses.
Cutting-edge research significantly enhances the creative and entrepreneurial environment at IADT. We work with diverse stakeholders and collaborators in the public and private sectors, at local, national and global level. IADT engages in scholarly, applied and practice-based research.
IADT Library offers a wide range of seamless, high-quality integrated information services. We are committed to supporting students, researchers and staff on their journey of learning, teaching and discovery. Drop by and see what we have to offer.
A comprehensive medical and nursing service is open to all full-time registered students. A Doctor is available on a part-time basis and a Nurse is available 5 days per week during the academic year. The service is envisaged as an addition to the student's own family doctor or specialist medical service.

First of all I really enjoyed being able to actively do experiments and do my own research using the facilities in IADT. There was an opportunity to spend a week in Estonia and study legal psychology which was enjoyable and IADT also hosted a short week for Estonian and German students where we got to organise activities. Although the course is enjoyable the college or course could improve by improving their communication level and possibly making the course more intense and full. I think a stronger level of strictness would also needed to be added. Overall the course is quite enjoyable with the odd module that may not be quite interesting but most modules are quite engaging and interesting. The coursework is not too intense at all and is quite handy for people who have a job. Modules are assessed by continuous assessments like literature reviews, academic posters, presentations, and in class tests.
Good for arts, not necessarily for psychology or business but the options are there. There is somewhat of a social scene as Dublin city is very close by and Dublin has a super drinking culture which is great for students. Good accessibility on public transportation methods. Plenty of parking as it is not located within the city centre. The class sizes are noticably smaller than some of the larger Irish universities so there is more 1 to 1 opportunities with your lecturer, however opportunities to network are limited. Definitely a good option as acceptance into other psychology programmes are somewhat difficult.
At times, the organisation of my course could have been better, particularly with lecturer attendance and timetable issues. However, the Applied Psychology course is quite advanced compared to other colleges, offering a unique mix of psychology and design fields like UX and HCI. The facilities are good, especially in terms of technology, and the library is excellent.
