4 degrees West Art and Design Extra

Carmarthen

As the new Dean of Art and Design at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) I have inherited a rich legacy of excellence in Art & Design education built up over many years on both the Swansea and Carmarthen campuses.

Being the oldest art school in Wales means that the Faculty has seen many changes over the past 160 years. The recent merger of Swansea Metropolitan University with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David has established a new University with an amazing pedigree dating back to 1822.

The Faculty has been further enhanced this year with the opening of the new Alex Design Exchange. The Grade II listed building has seen a £12 million redevelopment that houses the School of Design and Applied Arts.

Swansea is a seaside city sitting comfortably alongside a broad sandy sweep of bay. It is a great place to live and study: big enough to offer you the space you need; small enough to make you feel that you belong.

Carmarthen is a thriving market town, nestled amongst the rolling hills of West Wales, and is seen as the gateway to the beautiful coastlines of Cardigan, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

There are all the amenities and cultural activities that you would expect to find in a modern, vibrant, University City – theatres, cinemas, excellent galleries, museums, restaurants, bars and great student nightlife.

We also have an award-winning maritime quarter, a multi-million pound Waterfront Museum and the Wales National Swimming Pool. And what’s more, the cost of living here is very reasonable compared with most other university towns and cities.

The oldest town in Wales, Carmarthen has a vibrant arts community and has easily accessible travel links to Swansea, Cardiff and beyond. Whether you choose to study in Swansea or Carmarthen there are bays and beaches, surfing and sailing, climbing and canoeing, swimming and cycling – it’s all here. With soaring limestone cliffs, small “smugglers’ coves”, castles and historic buildings and breathtaking stretches of long sandy beaches, the scenery is both spectacular and inspiring, and all on your doorstep. And its history… Swansea was the birth place of Dylan Thomas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Actors Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins and Michael Sheen grew up near by.

Swansea was also the first place ever to have a passenger railway and some of the earliest photographs were made in the Swansea bay area by Fox Talbot and friends.

Just on our doorstep, beyond the Mumbles lies the Gower Peninsula, the UK’s first officially designated “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” and also great for surfing.

Swansea has real people, real personality and is probably one of the most exciting cities in the UK to be in right now. We are just 3 hours from London and 2.5 hours from Birmingham.

Carmarthen is steeped in myths and legends and is said to be the birth place of King Arthur.

UWTSD is the third oldest University in England & Wales after Oxford and Cambridge.

We have excellent motorway (M4) and mainline railway links.

We respect and celebrate our traditions.

This is why we have retained traditional equipment and processes in the areas of ceramics, printmaking and photography. But we are also forward looking, and the new complex is bristling with new technology.

We are proud to have the latest Apple Mac digital equipment for all our programmes, and we also have specialist state-of-the-art equipment to meet the needs of individual programmes, from a water jet cutter, digital photographic and textile printers, laser cutters and digital ceramic print facilities to editing suites and video resources, including access to the latest Ultra HD RED camera.

So, whether you choose to work with traditional processes or new technologies, or across both, we have it here for you. The creative possibilities are as exciting as they are enormous.

It is due largely to our students and our graduates over 160 years that we have built the reputation that we have. Many have gone on to distinguished careers in the arts, some have established multimillion pound design companies and then employed former graduates. Other graduates are working for well-known filmmakers and media producers, including the BBC and ITV. Our students are continually winning awards and are given the opportunity to exhibit throughout their courses. Graduate shows take place in Carmarthen, Swansea and London with design students showcasing their work at prestigious design exhibitions in London.

“ We need creative specialists who understand the environment in which their talents will be used and who can talk the same language as their clients and business colleagues.”

We have designed modules that will help you gain these skills and have excellent links with the creative industries and the gallery network so that when you graduate you already have a ‘foot in the door’.

A considerable number of companies offer placements and employment for our students, for example Tonto Films from California have developed the old Ford Factory in Swansea into 15th Century Florence, complete with the Ponte Vecchio, streets and Da Vinci’s studio. Students have worked in the costumes department, props, and in production and post-production of the TV series, Da Vinci’s Demons. Now there is a second series and other film projects planned, we have employed a PhD student to organize the many student opportunities available in these extensive studios.

You may also have the opportunity to work with the Creative Industries Research and Innovations Centre, with the range of European Funded projects, from film through to textiles that work directly with companies throughout the region.

03. Michael Sheen in The Port Talbot Passion-filmed by students on work experience with Moving Image Wales

Sir George Cox, in his Review of Creativity in Business, commissioned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, recognized that art, design and media students needed the skills to market their work when they graduated and to communicate their ideas to a wide range of people.

The third year External Project, as mentioned previously, aims to apply your individual creativity and extend your endeavours by engaging with the external market place.

Every student in the final year works with a client who could be a charity, a design group, a gallery or company (see programme details for examples).

In the module Marketing, Self Promotion and Exhibition mock, and often real, interviews are held with high-level professionals from organisations such as Millennium Images and Saatchi & Saatchi, often resulting in employment and placements.

We have an excellent range of visiting lecturers and we regularly hold conferences and symposia. Most recent were two exhibitions and symposia in Illustration and Fine Art/Drawing, that attracted international artists and speakers. Many of our graduates return to talk to and work with students, providing excellent insights and links to the creative industries.

Swansea Our Dynevor campus in Swansea houses all the facilities you will need and others that you would not have imagined. When we moved to the Dynevor campus in 2005, and at a time when most Universities were disposing of them, we brought with us many of the traditional processes such as ceramic kilns, printmaking and photographic darkrooms.

Many of our courses provide work experience and internships as part of the programmes open to all students who want that experience, which we are aiming to extend to all courses. In addition there are opportunities to work with the community, with the regional creative industries and with organisations such as hospitals and in schools.

The Faculty has been further enhanced this year with the opening of the new Alex Design Exchange. The Grade II listed building has seen a £12 million redevelopment that houses the School of Industrial Design and the School of Glass.

You are not just a number to us and, because we have smaller class sizes than many universities, there is a considerable contact time with staff, and plenty of individual and small group tutorial time.

We have heavily invested millions of pounds in both regularly updating digital suites and in purchasing innovative equipment and professional facilities such as a laser engraver, water jet cutter, 3D filmmaking equipment, digital blade cutter and a calibrated digital print system.

3D scanning and printing, extensive workshops allowing students to explore the use of a range of materials including glass, wood. metal, plastic, plaster, automotive styling clay and ceramics. As well as the latest versions of 3D modelling, animation and visualisation software, Adobe creative suite and other industry standard specialist packages.

This combination of traditional and stateof-the-art equipment will enable you to maximize your employment opportunities by offering you a wider ‘creative vocabulary’ and ensuring that you have skills that are professional and up to date.

In a survey by Which? Swansea was placed 9th in the whole of the UK for teaching hours offered to students, Daily Telegraph 15th May 2013.

All courses are taught through small group workshops, small group and individual tutorials, lectures, seminars and individual study and practice supported in the studios by professional staff. We aim to give each individual student the right balance of challenge and support.

Student support services in the Faculty, and in the University as a whole, help you make the most of your time with us and there is additional learning support if you need it.

In a recent HEAD (Higher Education in Art and Design) survey of 1st year students, the Faculty achieved 100% satisfaction for Student Support.

Most of all we want you to enjoy your time with us, many of our graduates don’t want to leave and that’s the way we like it.

Our Carmarthen Campus offers programmes in Art, Film and Media.

Whether you have an academic, vocational or practical outlook, we will be able to offer you the scope to shape your studies to your strengths.

The degrees in the Art pathways are all offered bilingually. Within Film and Media, the courses are delivered through the medium of English. Within all areas, students have the potential to study with us from undergraduate level all the way through to achieving a PhD, due to the research expertise and professional achievements of our staff.

By forging strong links with the Creative Industries our students find employment in these areas and beyond. Various Creative Industries bodies have welcomed our approach to teaching and learning, as we produce those with the skills and confidence to work creatively. A strong entrepreneurial and vocational approach is built into our degree pathways, and our students are given opportunities to gain invaluable work experience with outside organisations. We have long-term partnerships with Swansea City Football Club, The National Trust in Wales, and the Dinefwr Literature Festival to name a few.

In addition to such online publications, our students regularly organise their own film exhibitions and art shows, and we believe this element is important in both building personal confidence, and in giving vital experience of engaging with the world beyond University.

Students are also encouraged to enter national competitions and industry.

Professionals are frequently employed to teach on our courses, giving students first hand knowledge of the profession they wish to enter.

Students are also given the opportunity to exhibit throughout their course. Graduate shows take place in Swansea, Carmarthen and London with design students showcasing their work at prestigious design shows in London.

From you we expect energy, curiosity and commitment and the beginnings of a passion for your medium.
