Professional diplomas, certificates and short courses are available in a wide variety of subjects.

Our teaching and research have been judged as 'excellent' by independent and rigorous peer review. We were recently rated by the 'Sunday Times University Guide' as the UK's 'Best Higher Education College' and were twice shortlisted as 'University of the Year'.

The achievements of our students, staff and alumni are the true testament to our success. They regularly receive honours and awards such as the Saatchi Scholarship, the Sunday Times Award, the Jerwood Prize, the Fujifilm Award, British Fashion Designer of the Year, the Turner Prize and the Prince Philip Designers Prize. Our alumni are prominent in their fields and many have international reputations. Often provocative, their work promotes fresh perspectives and new modes of practice.

We work to provide a bridge between higher education and professional practice and to serve the creative industries.
