Undergraduate courses

CSAD’s strengths are in art, making, design and technology. We are interested in the relationship between arts and sciences, and in situating the student in the real world. Students on our programmes have genuine choices in their studies and can work in any of the media we have available. Our students work on projects with students from other disciplines, deepening their appreciation of other ways of working and thinking, whilst fully engaging in their own.

Postgraduate courses

Our Masters, MPhil and PhD awards have been designed to give real opportunities for postgraduate students to explore their disciplines through their own practice, employing challenging ideas that will enable a significant step forward.
