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.
