These courses are challenging, rewarding and enjoyable and offer a valuable experience for you if you have a keen interest and aptitude in any of the subject areas.

The course enables you to develop skills through a variety of activities and/or specialisms which could include drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, digital arts, 3D, and textiles. You will use a wide range of media, techniques and approaches to produce a portfolio of art, craft and design work.

There will be opportunities to work with practising artists, designers and craftspeople. You will participate in cultural and contextual activities and educational visits to support your studies.
