Your community

As a Leeds School of Arts student, you’ll join the city’s thriving visual arts scene. You could form your own collectives while you study. Past students participated in Leeds’ annual Light Night event and even set up their own galleries.

Teaching & Learning

Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. You’ll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

Career Prospects

As a proactive graduate and a creative thinker, you will be equipped to make opportunities for yourself, manage your own career and promote yourself and your work. Our students have gone on to pursue careers in the arts, in galleries, museums and in the film industry, in arts administration and as journalists or designers. You could also continue your studies on one of our postgraduate courses.
