The courses below provide practical and hands on experience in the creative industry of your choice. Our skilled staff will support you in your development as image and/or film-makers by establishing strong technical, conceptual and visual skills. They will encourage you to explore the world of Creative Arts, the skills it requires and your own creativity. It’s amazing how creative you are, you just don’t know it yet...

In addition to your campus based studies, many courses regularly organise subject specific visits to local and regional venues – theatres, museums and galleries. Each year our students are given the opportunity to participate in many exciting student collaborations, competitions and projects. Throughout the academic year we host and present fashion shows, art and photography exhibitions, dance and drama productions, film screenings, and music gigs.

Many members of our staff are active practising artists, designers, photographers and film makers, who exhibit their own work locally, nationally and internationally on a frequent basis. In many cases the experience they gain from this activity is brought back onto the campus and finds its way into the classroom and studio, where we hope it will inspire, influence and inform much of the day-to-day student experience.

If you would like to come to Kings Road to have a look around and talk to staff on the courses then please contact us.

Student work can been viewed on the Creative Arts gallery.
