We offer fantastic facilities and industry-trained tutors who are dedicated to helping our creative students reach their future career destination through hands-on learning, work placements and live brief projects. We recognise the importance of work experience in the creative industries and work with employers to provide portfolio-building experience for our students. Our courses include approved University of the Arts London (UAL) Awarding Body qualifications and we are also delighted to be recognised as a Centre of Excellence by the British Display Society for our Visual merchandising courses.
Our Art and Design students benefit from state-of-the-art resources including a 3D printer, laser cutter, photography studio and darkroom, Apple Mac suites and a model-making workshop. Our Ware campus is also home to our on-site exhibition gallery, the David Gentleman Gallery, in which our students regularly exhibit and sell their work to our local communities.
Our Art and Design department is spread across three floors at our Ware campus, with dedicated studios for specialist disciplines, alongside our own exhibition space, The David Gentleman Gallery. In recent years we have invested significantly in equipment, including a 3D printer, sewing machines, a kiln and a heat press machine.
Creative industries account for approximately 2.4 million jobs in the UK. Our Art and Design courses introduce students to a diverse range of techniques across a variety of media, providing a strong foundation for pursuing a creative career, whilst encouraging them to contribute to professional exhibitions, competitions and showcases.
