Art & Design

Need to scratch your creative itch? Art & Design graduates shape the physical world around us, and create a context in which we can think and explore ideas, forms and emotions. Whether designing the interior of a plush bar or an advert for the latest ‘must have’ gadget, finding ways to use less packaging for our products or illustrating a children’s book, artists and designers add interest and texture to the world in which we live.

As an Art & Design graduate, you can work in a variety of professions which give you the freedom to let your creativity run wild, and your knowledge, skills and practices have a real and vitally important role in shaping the future for us all.
