Art and design

There is no house style at Brighton – from the outset, you will explore your chosen field and develop your own creative practice.

We offer individual courses in fine art critical practice, painting, 3D design and craft, printmaking and sculpture. You will be part of a creative community of artists and designers based in central Brighton with a year round calendar of creative and cultural events to enjoy and participate in.

See our art and design courses.

As an artist I feel that I have progressed dramatically throughout the three years at Brighton Uni and have become confident in developing a strong visual language of my own. I am very grateful for all the guidance I have received over the past 3 years as it was vital for my development.
