Why choose Arts, Design
and Architecture at ATU Sligo?

Building Dreams

A €17 million investment has created a new home for the Yeats Academy of Arts, Design and Architecture. Opened in 2023, this state-of-the-art and collaborative environment is where our creative students spend their time. This ensures they have access to some of the best facilities in Ireland.

Space to Grow

Time to design and create, play a key role in our degrees. Dedicated studio spaces and specialist facilities give students the opportunity to fully express themselves. It is this environment that has seen our students win national and global awards, in areas such as design and interior architecture.

Visitors and Visiting

Guest lecturers have included laureates, artists and industry experts, who have delivered unforgettable workshops to our students. Annual field trips to design cities such as Lisbon and Rome provide a first-hand experience of everything from cutting-edge contemporary design to world famous galleries.
