International Experience
We are committed to enhancing the international experience of each of our students whether they are from the UK, EU or overseas. More global connectivity means we must prepare students to work cross-culturally and broaden their creative perspective.
Each year our course teams organise a range of overseas study trips or work experience to support your learning.
We offer over 60 exciting international study placement opportunities in the School of Art and Design, including institutions in Sweden, Germany, Spain and Finland.
Closer to home we’re continuously celebrating the multiculturalism of our School with events including our Industrial Design film nights and collaborative exhibitions with other countries, such as the Dresden exhibition with UK and German artists.
Welcome to all international students from Art and Design.
