Learning and Teaching
The DEI believe that design education is vital to our cultures, our society, our economy and ourselves. The scholarship and quality enhancement of teaching and learning is a critical part of academic life and is central to DEI’s mission.
We aim to:
Support, inform, influence and enhance the quality and profile of design education.
Enhance design curricula, practice, provision and pedagogies with a focus on innovative practice and excellence.
Support teaching excellence in design.
Foster employability and entrepreneurship education in design.
Recognise and reward examples of best practice in design learning and teaching.
Promote the use of design curricula, practices, provision and pedagogies within other third level disciplines.
Support diversity and inclusion in our student and staff communities, academic curriculum and practices.
