Plymouth College of Art

As one of only four remaining further and higher specialist art and design colleges in the country, the College provides a role locally, regionally, nationally and internationally in providing excellence in Art and Design education and training.

The BA first year focuses on fundamentals such as storyboarding and narrative, on creating content for single screen, projection, installation and multiplatform environments, and on 3D and 2D CGI composition. During the second year the emphasis moves towards production management and entrepreneurial skills. In the final year you will consolidate your professional identity and confirm your academic credentials as a reflective practitioner. You will also undertake a research project, in the form of a dissertation or a practice-led contextual enquiry.

Before deciding where and what to study, it is important that you find out as much as you can about the place and the course you are interested in. Our Open Days are a chance for you to get a feel for Plymouth and the College, to see for yourself just what stands us apart and what we can offer. You’ll meet staff and students where you can find out more about the courses, obtain financial advice, be shown around our workshop and studio spaces and have the chance to explore our vibrant and exciting city to help you make your decision about studying here. Please book your place by clicking on one of the dates and completing our booking form or by email marketing@plymouthart.ac.uk.
