We are a campus for the creative industries. We exist to inspire students and prepare them with the skills creative businesses demand.

Our courses have a highly practical streak. They’re run by passionate leaders, many of whom still run their own businesses. And they’re designed to give our students the edge in a competitive creative world.

We’re a tight community

Our creative courses provide a rich seam of collaboration for all our students. The campus is a highly specialist environment that reflects life in the creative industries. Our teaching style is individually focused with a low student to tutor ratio. And we actively we encourage your input to help us shape our community and courses.

We’re well informed

We have Industry Liaison Groups and Visiting Tutors to keep us ahead of changing ways of working and technology. Alumni who’ve gone on to great things come back regularly as lecturers. And our standing as a creative hothouse attracts industry figures to lecture and recruit from our ranks.

We’re well equipped

Our emphasis on practical experience demands we have a high standard of equipment. Studios and workshops have all the tools you need to experiment and learn industry skills.

We’re good at what we do

We get consistently good reports from the body which monitors us, the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). Their most recent audit gave the Arts University the highest possible grade. The report commended our academic standards and highlighted many features of good practice.
