Study Details: 1 year part-time
Push the boundaries of creative expression by developing your existing practice in areas such as art, graphics, sculpture, filmmaking, animation, sound and curating. From working with practising arts on live projects and spending time using our outstanding facilities, to attending workshops, seminars and guest lectures, we’ll help you gain the expertise you need to help drive your creativity forward.
You’ll work on live projects and collaborations affiliated with external partners and agencies within our city, including Leeds City Art Gallery and The Henry Moore Institute, and beyond Leeds in cities such as Birmingham, London and Amsterdam. You’ll also be partnered with a mentor – a renowned contemporary artist or curator – who will offer critical and constructive feedback, enabling you to reflect and improve your working practices.
Whether you’re a recent graduate, someone who is looking to develop your own business further, or you’re simply looking to reignite your passion for the creative arts, this short course is the ideal step which will allow you to research, develop and flourish in an area which is of particular interest to you.
Applicants should either have at least a second class honours degree in the cognate subjects of Art or Design, at least a second class honours degree in a non-cognate subject supported by evidence of an aptitude for the subject applied for, or have equivalent experience or training, normally from within the work environment.
All applications should be supported by a reference, either academic or professional; all applicants should satisfy our University English language requirements.
