Education Council
Put simply, D&AD's educational ambitions would not be possible without the Education Council.
The Council has been in existence for well over a decade now and comprises of a number of highly regarded and prestigious design studios, advertising agencies and creative consultancies. Through their involvement, Council members are actively investing in creative education and D&AD is able to fulfil its educational aspirations and ensure that all programmes remain relevant to both industry and education. Ultimately the Council funds and feeds the best creative talent, which in turn profits industry.
From Student Awards judging, to portfolio sessions, graduate placements and our annual talent fair, D&AD offers many opportunities for Education Council members to impart their knowledge to the next creative generation. These events also offer a unique entry point to the industry for students (read their testimonials).
Garrick Hamm, Rosie Arnold and Al Young are just a number of successful creatives who got their first break into industry through D&AD Education Council supported programmes. See just how they made it (pdf 13MB).
With a number of exclusive benefits, Education Council members also gain from the opportunities to be re-inspired by tomorrow’s fresh thinkers, whose work and ideas force us all to question the boundaries of creative brilliance.

Student Testimonials
"Nothing at university can really prepare you for the outside world, through the D&AD I was able to seek out advice from active professionals, this kind of advice cannot be rivalled. Since then I have designed my own magazine and managed to secure Arts Council funding, I feel like my head is just above the water and am very excited about the future!"
Siobhan Maguire
"I am writing to say how much it means to have this help from D&AD. Without them, the challenge facing new graduates would be even greater. All of the services from D&AD really do help many of us to hit the ground running. It goes without saying that this year has been a bad one for many companies. I believe that the ease with which I was able to find work in this time is a testament to the durability of an award from D&AD. Probably more so than to my own abilities or work, as McCann Erickson would not have found me, nor I them, without D&AD putting us in contact. So thank you very much, and please keep up the good work!"
Paul Leach
"I would like to extend my thanks to the creative and sharp eyed individuals who have contributed their time, expertise and passion and passed on their knowledge to me under D&AD’s banner of great ideas well executed. Perhaps one day I will be able to do the same."
