Art and Design is as much about individual and original creative expression as it is about technique.

That can take many different forms including animation, photography, painting, sculpture, product design, interior design, illustration and graphic design.

Our Art and Design courses aim to equip you with the knowledge and transferrable skills that’ll help you to develop a unique portfolio of work and forge a career in your chosen area. Studio-based activity is supported by historical and contextual studies. We’ll nurture your conceptual approach and seek to develop your knowledge with industry-linked projects.

We have strong links with the creative industry and commerce, and we’re continually seeking to develop and strengthen our relationships through sponsored projects, competitions and guest lectures.

Our facilities provide an inspirational backdrop to your learning and provide the equipment you’ll need to bring your creative ideas to life. This includes impressive studio spaces, Apple Mac suites and PC labs. Our 3D workshops are fully equipped with tools, laser-cutting facilities and a range of advanced 3D printers for rapid prototyping. The Technology Building houses digital photography studios kitted out with impressive industry-standard equipment, as well as the Digital Print Centre which allows for printing on a variety of media, including wood, metal, fabric and a range of specialist papers, incorporating an array of printfinishing techniques.

We’ll support you to channel your thinking, use your ideas more effectively, and put all of your creativity into context, helping you to realise how your ideas are relevant to the needs of the creative sector.

On all of our Art and Design courses, you could gain the Adobe** Certified Associate (ACA) accreditation in addition to your degree, at no extra cost.

My student journey so far

Abigail Weegram Interior Design BA(Hons)

“The first few weeks of “Going to New York with university were so much the University was a really memorable event,” says Abigail fun. I moved into the student accommodation at Weegram, Interior Design student. “It snowed for the full Storthes Hall, made a lot of new friends, and enjoyed five days that we were there the Freshers’ Festival.” and it was up to our knees!”

Abigail grew up in the coastal town of Hartlepool. “It’s a small town and pretty much everyone knows each other.

Moving to Huddersfield was quite a big change as I was moving to a place where I knew nobody.”

I love being in the studio; I feel inspired by everything and everyone around me.

“When I was younger, I wanted to be a teacher.” So why did Abigail choose to study interior design? “I chose my course as I always preferred the art and design subjects at school. I once did work experience for an interior design company, and from then on I knew it was definitely the job for me.”

“It’s still my dream job for the future, and after university I plan to move to London.”

Richard Mulhearn Course Leader and Admissions Tutor, Photography

“My career in photography is something that built gradually,” says Richard. “I used to go to a small cinema where I saw a lot of European and World films.

The images I encountered made a lasting impression, especially the narrative and sequencing.

Having a 35mm SLR camera was all you needed to begin making images and constructing sequences with photography.

It started from there.”

During his degree Richard met a number of creative practitioners, designers and musicians, and spent time collaborating with them to influence his work. This continued when he began working as a freelance photographer, firstly in the music and then in the film industry. “I worked for the best part of ten years making images for album artwork for a number of music labels and magazines,” he explains. “I remain proud of the work I was a part of, there’s a real sense of possibility and excitement bound up in those projects.”

I worked for the best part of ten years making images for album artwork for music labels and magazines.

Whilst freelancing, Richard was asked to do some teaching on an Art Foundation Diploma course. “I really enjoyed being a part of a student’s development; encouraging, supporting and challenging them towards creative practice,” he says.

What does Richard enjoy most about Huddersfield? “Here on the course we have a very high standard and level of investment in facilities, equipment and technical support, which alongside a good range of staff experience and expertise, means that our students can achieve high technical, creative and professional standards, thus gain the skills and confidence they need to move forward.”
