UK: Creative new media at the University of Derby

If you are interested in combining your creative flair with the endless opportunities in new technology and media, then the University of Derby’s School of Art and Design may be for you.

After recently opening a brand new £21m building for the faculty, the university boasts the newest arts, design and technology facility in the UK. As well as covering subject areas in the traditional way, they also promote the interaction of art and design with media, technology and the humanities (arts) - which will give you vital technological skills and expertise for today’s workplace.

The School of Art & Design also conducts commercial training through its Creative Exchange. With accredited Apple training and industry level media production courses, it’s a great way for creative business employees to get the skills they need. They offer expert tuition in camera skills, filming and editing, digital printing, colour management and Adobe software programmes such as Photoshop and InDesign.

The University of Derby is a modern, friendly university with two campuses in the centre of England. The city of Derby is small and safe, and within easy reach of larger cities such as Manchester, Birmingham and Nottingham. The university was short-listed last year for the Times Higher Education Supplement University of the Year award – largely due to the new high-tech facilities at the School or Art & Design, and the beautiful new Buxton campus for tourism, hospitality, beauty and health courses.

The university was also recently voted best in the UK for English language support in an independent survey of 18,000 international students at 25 campuses.
