The art world is vibrant and energetic and demands people who are not only talented but who are good networkers, fiercely determined, able to work as a collective and business savvy.
Traditional artistic roles such as painter, illustrator, sculptor or photographer have broadened to include digital routes such as graphic designer, web designer or animator as well as product and technical design, craft work and textile designers. Graduates can go on to work in a wide range of industries including advertising, architecture, fashion, film, gaming, graphic design, interior design, graphic design, product development, web design, entertainment, journalism, marketing, photography, publishing, web design, and much more.
Studying art and design with us, you’ll get more than just a qualification. You’ll enjoy a hands on experience that will make your CV stand out and allow you to build your creative confidence. You’ll work on live briefs with professional artists and designers, you’ll contribute to community art projects and you’ll learn from some of the best creative minds in the region including top cultural organisations like BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and Wild in Art as well as commercial agencies Kuro Dragon and Surreal.
“During my course I’ve had lots of opportunities to work on live art commissions. They’ve really helped me gain an understanding of working in the industry including meeting deadlines, liaising with the clients and working in a team.”
