General requirements

Applicants should ordinarily have a masters degree in a design-related discipline, however, those who do not but have relevant work experience in the sector are encouraged to apply.
Applicants must have a minimum 2.1 primary degree or international equivalent to Irish university primary degree level. Applicants in possession of a primary degree with a grade lower than 2.1 will be considered if they have relevant experience. Applicants are welcome from all disciplines, however a clear interest in Design is required, which aligns with staff research interests within the Department of Design Innovation.
