Collaborative
partners
We engage in many types of collaborative activity.
Our creative business partnerships support schools and colleges across the UK with opportunities to enhance their creative provision and support progression into Higher Education.
Collaborative arrangements are formal agreements with an external partner institution to provide a programme of study that leads to a University award, or, to specific credit as part of a University award.
We promote and support student and staff mobility and have strong collaborative links with partner institutions worldwide.
We have a vibrant and dynamic research culture. Collaboration within and beyond the University remains an essential conceptual driver for our research.
Our Widening Participation team offers a range of activities, giving learners of all ages an insight into studying art, design and media-related subjects and entering further and higher education.
