We are innovators. We are communicators. We are radicals. We are the School of Art & Design.

We are one of the world’s leading art and design schools and we have been influencing, inspiring and innovating for over 175 years. We are guided by our past, focused on our future, and proud to be shaping what comes next.

Located right in the heart of one of the UK’s most exciting cities, we are surrounded by – and contribute to – an originality, energy and imagination that makes Nottingham a very special place to live, work and create.

From nurturing talent to daring research and collaborations that are shaking up the industry, we are breaking convention, and challenging the very ideas of what is possible for an art and design school.

Inspired by a love for our craft, we are committed to pushing its boundaries into new territories. If this sounds like you too, then come and tell your story with us.

You will be part of a community of thousands united by passion, drive and hard work. You will feel the guidance that comes from the decades of experience of our subject experts and the buzz of infinite possibility of those just taking their first steps.

We are all contemporaries, collaborators and change-makers. And together we can turn what we love into how we live.

We are the School of Art & Design at Nottingham Trent University and we are what we create.
