Norwich University College of the Arts

As the East of England's specialist centre for art and design education, Norwich School of Art and Design has an international reputation for excellence.

Situated alongside the River Wensum in the historic quarter of the city centre, the School is housed in a mixture of buildings including medieval, Edwardian and Victorian. We offer a wide range of courses from Foundation degrees right through to PhD, and the curriculum continues to broaden and expand.

NSAD Student barInternational links enrich the School and offer a broader perspective to both students and staff. Most teaching staff are designers, crafts people and writers.

A dynamic creative community in the centre of Norwich
The School is a place of ideas and innovation and students are encouraged to question assumptions and challenge existing boundaries of practice. Our graduates have every opportunity to become confident and independent practitioners in their chosen field of the visual arts and design.

"The college itself has a strong sense of its heritage while keeping abreast of all current developments in contemporary practice in art and design."
Dan Tombs, Former SU president

Critical Studies

All our undergraduate students take part in Critical Studies programmes as an integral component of their course. This gives you the opportunity to explore studio disciplines within historical and critical contexts, as part of our aim to prepare you with a broad, questioning and informed approach to contemporary creative practices. The weekly Critical Studies workshop meetings offer a forum for discussing issues, concepts and specific examples of both contemporary and past creative work. Open, lively debate is strongly encouraged, and your participation in Critical Studies is considered essential to the growth and development of a your independent and critical judgement.
