BURREN COLLEGE OF ART COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Burren College of Art Company Limited By Guarantee is an internationally recognised Irish non-profit college dedicated to fine-art education. Nestled on the Wild Atlantic Way in the spectacular Burren region of County Clare, the college offers a small-scale, independent environment where the natural landscape becomes an integral part of the creative process.

The college specialises in undergraduate, postgraduate and alternative study routes. It currently invites applications for its Individual Undergraduate Study-Abroad programme (Spring 2026) and for a range of postgraduate options, including PhD/MPhil in Studio Art and MFA/MA/Post-Baccalaureate courses in Studio Art and Art & Ecology. These programmes are designed for emerging artists who wish to let "every moment feed your work", as former student Illesha Khandelwal describes.

By combining rigorous studio practice with the unique ecology of the Burren, Burren College of Art provides a vibrant, immersive learning experience for students from Ireland and abroad, fostering artistic development in a setting that is as inspiring as it is distinctive.
