Our Art and Design degrees will help you make the most out of your higher education experience; connecting you with industry professionals through opportunities to visit conventions and events, as well as a programme of inspirational guest lecturers.
You’ll get the opportunity to develop strong teamworking and communication skills through working on collaborative projects. You’ll also be able to develop a memorable portfolio of creative work by entering national design competitions and working on live creative briefs from big brands. There’s also the chance to exhibit and market your work at different events, including our annual Art and Design Showcase, which attracts big names from across the sector every year.
Our main campus is in Stoke-on-Trent, a city bathed in ceramic heritage and full of artistic muse and inspiration, ideally located within the heart of Staffordshire – the Creative County. With a culture and history that embodies the art of making, where better to perfect your craft?
