These Art and Design programmes are taught by internationally acclaimed and award-winning academics in the UK – and we are now seeking to extend our reputation through further appointments and campus in Dubai.

Our students enjoy opportunities to work on live projects with industry, designed to consider a more sustainable fashion future. Students have recently worked on briefs set by the British Fashion Council, the British Library, Ted Baker and Stella McCartney.
