About the subject
In both Art and Photography we push creative boundaries and experiment with a wide range of media, processes and concepts. We are creatively ambiguous, forward thinking and we develop our students to be independent, innovative and creative thinkers. Students have opportunities to work with materials such as painting, printing, darkroom processes and textiles throughout the course and this provides them with a wealth of experience that we have a high success rate for those wanting to continue there creative education further at university.
