The Department of Art and Design provides focused study in the context of BTEC standards.
Our programmes train students to become design artists for the information age by teaching the fundamentals of design, media, and the arts. The department strongly emphasizes exploration and innovation, and the philosophy of the department is to offer a learning experience that fosters full self-expression and innovation by developing each individual student’s conceptual thinking and training students in skills to bring concepts alive. Students are strongly encouraged to collaborate with other disciplines in order to develop new forms, and become innovators and leaders in their chosen fields.
