All of our art and design courses are closely linked with the creative industries, while our surveying and planning courses have strong links to the surveying industry's professional bodies (RICS, RTPI), and our architecture courses have close links with the Royal Institute of British Architects. In addition, industry experts often teach and even contribute to the design of our courses, helping to enhance your studies, keep you in touch with the latest developments and ensure that you graduate as a marketable industry professional.

Our reputation ensures that industry leaders regularly visit our student shows and events to see the best of the new talent before anybody else does. Our proximity to London also enables us to offer you the opportunity to gain work experience within a top organisation, museum or gallery, helping you to gain first-hand industry knowledge and add essential new skills to your CV.
