Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries

We are a creative community led by practitioners in the creative industries. We inspire and challenge our students in a friendly, inclusive, and practice-led environment.

Scholarship, innovative pedagogy, and leading research of national and international significance underpin our teaching.

Our broad portfolio of programmes ranges from Animation and Film to Fine Art and Digital Media. We emphasise:

• creativity
• interdisciplinary study
• practical experience
• the relationship between practice and theory
• the development of specialist and transferable skills.

This approach prepares graduates for work in the contemporary creative industries.

Our industry-standard facilities give students and researchers access to relevant equipment and technology. Full technical support is also available.

We encourage and support collaboration at every level. This takes place across disciplines, organisations, structures, and cultures.

Our work reflects and directly shapes the arts and creative industries. Our graduates contribute through their employment. Our staff contribute through consultancy and collaborative research.

Strong industry links keep our curriculum, facilities, and research at the forefront of these fast-changing disciplines.

We put our students first. Our creative environment prepares them for successful careers in their chosen fields. It also develops their critical thinking through practical work.
