"You’ll be immersed in an inspiring atmosphere and will have opportunities to collaborate with others whose specialism lies outside of your own - from filmmakers to fashion designers, photographers to musicians, artists to designers; anything feels possible here.
There’s a real-life feel to studying with us. You’ll have countless opportunities to learn from, network with, and work for some of the best names in your chosen field, thanks to our contacts within industry and practising creatives. This adds a vital perspective to your studies, helps to build your CV and will enhance your prospects.
We work extremely hard to remain a leading centre for the arts, nurturing some of the most sought-after talent. Our diverse student body encompasses creatives from across the globe, from India to Iceland, Spain to Hong Kong, each bringing with them their own individual perspective, skills and potential."
