Organisation profile
The Department of Arts Education and Physical Education at Mary Immaculate College includes four specialist teams in the areas of Drama Education, Music Education, Visual Art Education and Physical Education.
The arts and physical education have a long and valued tradition within Mary Immaculate College, both as academic pursuits within programmes of initial teacher education and as student activities outside of College programmes. The department aims to build on that strong tradition, and to forge new and innovative ways of developing its work in initial teacher education, as well as striving for excellence in research, and providing a valuable service to the wider community.
