There’s no denying that the art, design, graphics & fashion industry is competitive, but the UK’s creative sector is internationally famous and there are lots of opportunities to prove your worth.
The South West art and design industry is renowned, with Bristol and Bath designated hubs of creative and digital skills. The UK’s creative industries contributed £115.9billion to the economy in 2019, according to the Department of Digital, Culture, Media & Sport. This is a 43.6% increase since 2010 and means the sector makes up just under 6% of the economy.

Art and Design Level 3
This course covers so many different aspects of art and photography. I have been encouraged to try out various mediums and techniques and have been able to use the facilities and studios to create things in my own time. I particularly loved experimenting with screen printing, ceramics, and plaster.. The staff have been very supportive, helping me choose a focus for my project, and letting me borrow cameras and equipment so that I can start to build up my portfolio.
