International
As a university-sector specialist art, design and media higher education institution that’s big on collaboration, partnership working and interdisciplinary practice, we recognise that the creative industries are now firmly an international job market, and we know the importance of connecting with creative practitioners, institutions and businesses across the globe.
<p>Working with our strategic partners across Europe, North America, India, China, Korea and beyond, our cultural exchanges and international projects have a significant impact on our students – improving their employment prospects, bringing international practitioners and projects into the university, creating a rich and vibrant international culture and helping to influence the way we teach.<br /></p>
Our students work with students from across Europe for the Euranim project.
Thinking & Making
<p>Our expertise in creative education has a particular emphasis on physical making and teaching how traditional studio and craft practices are evolving to address an increasingly digital and connected world. As leaders in courses that teach craft and material practices more broadly, our international <em>Making Futures</em> biennial conference embodies our commitment to honouring and furthering the importance of tacit learning through hands-on making.</p>
<p>As an innovative institution, the university has been a <strong>Founding Associate of Tate Exchange</strong>, and is a member of the <strong>UKADIA</strong>,<strong> ELIA</strong>, <strong>CAA</strong> and <strong>Cumulus </strong>groups of specialist higher education institutions, a member of the <strong>Crafts Council Advisory Group</strong>, and a Steering Group member of the <strong>Cultural Learning Alliance</strong>. Invitations to many of these groups came in the past five years, creating platforms for the university to steer national and international policies in the arts and creative education.</p>
<p>As the result of a growing national and international profile, the university is engaged in multiple partnerships with a number of European-funded projects, including <strong>Atlantic Youth Creative Hub</strong> - a social innovation project for young people supporting social entrepreneurship, employment and education in the creative and cultural industries (12 delivery partners across 4 Atlantic Countries); <strong>Triple E-dge</strong> - vocational education in a digital and gaming environment through enhancing four key skills related to enterprising, employability and entrepreneurship (5 partners from 4 European countries), alongside other international partnerships such as <strong>Smithsonian Crafts Council</strong>, <strong>Victoria and Albert Research Institute</strong>, <strong>Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design</strong>, <strong>Fuller Craft Museum</strong>, and <strong>FutureLab</strong> at West Bund Art Center Shanghai. A developing relationship with the <strong>British Council </strong>has in the last year seen the university working on significant projects in India, Myanmar and the South Caucasus region (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia). <br /></p>
