Our six studio spaces are large and bright, encouraging the sharing of ideas in a social, collaborative atmosphere.

Your studies in the studio are complemented by a full programme of lectures, one day per week throughout both semesters. These lectures offer a contextual insight into how art and design have developed through history and contemporary practice, as well as learning more about the individual subject specialisms offered by our degrees.
