Course Summary

We believe in the transformative power of material thinking, research and making. Be part of a new generation of artists and designers to enrich our world in imaginative and meaningful ways.

The Ceramics & Glass programme explores how we can manifest ideas through a tacit exploration of active materials and the generative potential of process. We’re interested in studio practice, the rich histories of object-making, and the new possibilities presented by technologies and global dialogues.

During your studies, we provide a creative environment where your personal concerns intersect with global perspectives. You’ll be encouraged to question, examine and respond to social, cultural and material challenges. Staff and students engage in diverse research topics resulting from the broad scope of ceramics and glass. This research, in turn, informs what is taught on the programme. Together, we’ll explore advances in technology and challenge traditional methodologies to create new and unique approaches.
