Beyond its physical infrastructure, UCD Creative Futures Academy seeks to forge deep partnerships with the creative sector, giving students and researchers access to leading creative organisations and cultural institutions. These collaborations will help shape future-focused curricula, open pathways for co-designed projects, and ensure graduates are equipped with the skills and mindsets needed to thrive in rapidly evolving creative fields.

Through this blend of innovation, interdisciplinary learning, industry engagement, and experimental practice, UCD CFA is not just responding to changes in the creative industries but it is actively helping to drive them, in collaboration with our partners in IADT and NCAD.
