Course summary

In the realm of architecture, art and design, we believe in improving lives and fostering understanding through thoughtful and challenging works that reflect and inspire a creative society. Employability is a cornerstone of our teaching, with students working on real projects and with clients. Utilising both new and traditional mediums, we encourage students, researchers, and staff to explore and experiment within a supportive community, helping them identify their strengths. Our collaborative, project-based approach equips students with the skills needed for successful careers, with 94% of our graduates in work or further study within 6 months (HESA Graduate Outcomes Survey, 2021/22). Our research is cross-disciplinary, outcome-driven, and impactful on both regional and global scales, addressing strategic thinking, creative processes, sustainable design, and community engagement. Together, our integrated approach to teaching and research in architecture, art, and design produces innovative projects and insightful, highly employable graduates. In addition, the School offers a diverse range of courses, where students can study photography, fashion, illustration, graphic design, architecture, and interiors, each with its own distinctive focus. Photography encourages visual storytelling through both digital and analogue techniques, while fashion promotes innovation in sustainable and ethical practices. Illustration combines traditional and contemporary approaches to creative communication, and graphic design emphasises problem-solving through visual identity and branding. Architecture and interiors foster strategic and sustainable design thinking in built environments. These disciplines frequently collaborate on cross-disciplinary projects, allowing students to develop versatile skills and work alongside peers from different creative fields.
