Creative short courses
Whether you are a beginner or a professional, on one of our short courses you'll find yourself learning in an enjoyable, engaging and professional environment. Classes take place during the evenings and Saturdays as well as daytime courses during the summer holidays. They range from ten-week evening classes to one-week intensive courses, and class sizes are limited so an early booking is advised. Led by expert tutors, our courses are aimed at adult learners and are ideal if you are:
- exploring your creative skills in a favourite discipline
- reviewing your career
- building a portfolio for college or work
- working in industry and in need of a refresher
- training others and looking for new approaches to content and delivery
- searching for expertise to help develop your business.
Subjects include:
- Business
- Decorative Arts
- Fashion
- Fine Art
- Graphic Design
- Interiors and Architecture
- Performance and Design
- Photography and the Moving Image
- Product and 3D Design

For students aged under 18 we also host a range of courses every August. See our courses for 14 to 17-year-olds.
