Creative

Creative people are drawn to careers and activities that enable them to take responsibility for the design, layout or sensory impact of something (visual, auditory etc). They may be atrracted to the traditional artistic pursuits such as painting, sculpture, singing, or music. Or they may show more interest in design activities, such as architecture, animation, or craft areas, such as pottery and ceramics.

Creative people use their personal understanding of people and the world they live in to guide their work. Creative people like to work in unstructured workplaces, enjoy taking risks and prefer a minimum of routine.

Career Progression

Graduates establish themselves as professional artists. Many graduates pursue postgraduate study in Ireland or abroad, but also find employment in the cultural and community sectors working in galleries and in studios as arts officers, curators and arts administrators, and in the teaching sector in Ireland or abroad.
