Our students may know their anticipated trajectory – a typographer, a fashion photographer, an experimental animator, a moving image designer, or an all-round visual communicator. However, we encourage and inspire to share learnings and knowledge across our community of creatives; to cross-pollinate ideas, and create beautiful hybrids.
Our staff are some of the friendliest, brightest and most talented and their practice, research, industrial experience and connectivity will teach our community to experiment and take risks, as they are guided towards their own creative fulfilment.
