Overview

Creative Arts and Politics is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Creative Arts and Design is assessed on the work you produce rather than on examinations, which changes how the year is paced.

Tuition is £23,780 a year.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

Hiring in this field is decided on a portfolio rather than on a transcript, and the degree's job is to build one. A large share of graduates work freelance or on contract for the first few years, often alongside a studio job.

Roles graduates go into

  • Designer or practitioner in your discipline
  • Studio assistant
  • Art director
  • Creative producer
  • Arts administrator
  • Freelance commissions

Where they work

  • Design studios and agencies
  • In-house brand and product teams
  • Galleries, museums and arts organisations
  • Publishing and print
  • Self-employment and commissions
After the course

There is no register to join. What replaces it is a body of work, and most graduates spend the first two years building it in paid assisting roles.
