Our Facilities
On the eighth floor where we teach the NQ and HND Graphics courses we have dedicated computer studios that are kitted out with Macs running the latest industry standard software Adobe CC. In this digital environment you will learn InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

We also have plenty of studio space allowing you the best of both worlds — giving you a place to sketch, paint and get creative.

The BA and BA (Hons) students have their own dedicated purpose built studio within the skills centre offering a spacious and creative environment to work in.
