Visual Arts
Improve your skills, build your design portfolio and learn new techniques
If you study Visual Arts as part of the IB Diploma curriculum work, or choose to do it as one of your CAS experiences, you will be able to use our well-equipped art studio.
Similarly, students studying our Art and Digital Design over the summer or the Visual Arts component of the Undergraduate Programme can enjoy using these facilities.
Specialist staff
If you wish to continue your artistic practice, our teachers bring a wealth of experience to help build your art portfolio for university.
