We work with the University of the Arts London (UAL), an art-specific awarding organisation. UAL designs and awards creative qualifications that empower and inspire students to reach their full potential.
Our courses are delivered through a series of art and design projects enabling development across a wide range of creative media such as drawing, painting, sculpture, 3D animation, film making, computer games, and graphic design. You will gain both fine art and digital skills, and project work allows you to specialise in an area of personal interest.
The course equips you with practical skills and theory for success in either university or the creative industry.
