Distance Learning
Video Tasters
From material and visual exploration to collaborative working and the exploration of histories and contemporary contexts, as an undergraduate on our Distance Learning programme, you will engage with expert academics, industry mentors and an international peer-group, studying a creative specialism online together in real-time.
<p dir="ltr">Both online and on-campus we provide a dynamic, stimulating learning environment from which to test new models of creative practice while investing in the rich relationship between practice and theory. Our creative programmes encourage diversity in thinking and making - from practical applications through to reflective, analytical writing. </p>
<p dir="ltr">As a January-start student, your learning will be enriched with tailored support from our knowledgeable academics and technicians, all practicing artists and designers, and our campus-based professional services teams including the Learning Lab, IT, Student Support and Students’ Union.<br /></p>
