To counterbalance this focus, faculty led trips to London, Paris, and Dublin are integrated into the curriculum. These trips are seeds designed to widen artistic perspectives and to provide an exciting burst of new experience and impression. Students carry this inspiration home to their studios where it is thoughtfully synthesised into art. Application forms and information, giving full details of admission procedures, are distributed by the CAO to all post-primary schools in Ireland. Fees include tuition costs and basic course and college fees, faculty-led field trips to Dublin and London in Semester 1, Dublin and Paris or Prague in Semester 2.
Fees qualify for tax relief.
Scholarships Burren College of Art provides two scholarships each year for Irish students. These are awarded on artistic potential and academic achievement and may be maintained over the duration of the course. This is made possible through exchange agreements in place between Burren College of Art and a number of leading U.S. art schools. The emerging artist is given time, space, and individual attention from faculty and the freedom to develop unique visual responses to the landscapes, the locality and its people. The experience builds the confidence needed to self-steer future conceptual direction and artistic progress.
