General Information.
Success through creativity.
To a great extent, our reputation goes before us: Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth studied here, as did, more recently, Marcus Harvey, Damien Hirst, Danny Sangra and Omar Kashoura. However, we never allow complacency. We work extremely hard to remain a leading centre for art and design education, choosing from among the brightest international potential to produce some of the mosrt sought-after creative talent. Leeds College of Art is one of the few remaining independent art schools, so our students enjoy a small, close-knit community in a creative atmosphere where anything feels possible. We believe this is the best environment in which to grow as an artist or designer. But don’t just take it from me: while still with us, many of our students win some of the most prestigious international competitions and awards. I’d like to make one further important point, there’s a real-life feel to studying here. You’ll have countless opportunities to learn from, network with and work for some of the best names in your chosen field, thanks to our contacts with industry and practising artists and designers. This adds a vital perspective to your studies, helps ot build your CV and will enhance your career. I’m delighted that you’re considering coming to Leeds College of Art, where you’ll be immersed in an atmosphere which will help you to discover your own individual talents and potential, where hard work really pays off, and where you have all the resources you need for your ideas to take shape. I do hope to welcome you here as a student.

College Libraries.
College Shops.
The College Library has branches at both sites. During term time these are open as follows:
Our not-for-profit shops and studio resources offer very competitive rates on most of the materials you’ll need, so you won’t need to keep popping into the city centre. We sell a wide range of materials including paints, inks, paper, card, adhesives, portfolios, sketchbooks, film, CD-Rs, DVDs and other stationery. You can also get hold of some specialist course materials through the workshop stores. Our staff are experienced in finding reasonably prices and appropriate materials and will always be glad to help, particularly with more unusual requests.
Monday - Thursday Friday Saturday
08:30 – 20:00 08:30 – 16:30 10:00 – 16:00* *Blenheim Walk only
During holiday times at least one of the branches remains open but with amended hours. Both branches contain an art materials shop selling a range of high-quality items at discounted prices. The opening times of the shop are identical to those of the Library. There are over 45,000 books in the libraries covering all curriculum areas in addition to a comprehensive holding of critical and contextual texts. An online catalogue is available at: http://library.leeds-art.ac.uk New and contemporary books are being added continuously ensuring that stock is up-to date. Books which are out of print or otherwise unavailable can be accessed through an interlibrary-lending scheme. The Library subscribes to 156 journals ensuring that students have ongoing access to the cutting edge of new designs and practices. An online index of journals is available to facilitate the location of relevant articles and information. There is a special collection of Artists’ Books. These are works of art, some by well-established artists, that employ aspects of book making (eg binding, paper-making, typography). In addition the Library has: Over 3,000 videos and DVDs, including off-air recordings, with viewing facilities. A collection of slides covering the whole range of art and design subjects. A small but growing collection of e-resources
Computer Suites. The College’s computer resources are equipped with up-to-date Apple Macintosh and PC computers, scanners and printers. On hand across ten suites and some 200 computers are highly skilled staff who deliver software inductions and provide support for individual work. The resources offer a wide range of industrystandard software for art and design, including image manipulation, page layout, illustration, animation (2D and 3D), digital video editing, DVD authoring, sound editing, website design, 2D and 3D CAD as well as dedicated software for fashion. The computer resources have close ties with the photography, audio-visual, digital print and printmaking workshops, encouraging and supporting interdisciplinary practice within the College. All the resources provide high-speed internet access, which is also available through wireless zones at the Blenheim Walk building.
Specialist Workshops & Studios. Digital Printing. Our workshops and studios are equipped to industry standards, and are run by highly skilled staff who contribute significantly to our teaching. Most workshops and studios have a drop-in facility, including on Saturdays, so you can carry on working in your own time. However, some studios are dedicated to students on a particular course.
This newly opened resource offers facilities for professional-standard large-format digital printing and print finishing. The room has two HP z3100 printers, one of which is capable of printing up to 44� wide and the other up to 24� wide. There are also two Epson 4800 inkjet printers capable of printing up to A2. All printers and monitors are colour-calibrated to the highest industry standards, to ensure colour-correct prints with the minimum of fuss. As well as the inkjet printers, we have a Fuji Pictrography printer which uses a thermal dyetransfer process to give quality equal to traditional silver-based photography. We have two scanners, both capable of high-quality negative scanning as well as A3 flatbed scanning. Running alongside the printing and scanning will be a print-finishing area, where students can trim, mount and finish all of their work.
Glass, Ceramics & Casting.
Photography.
Develop your skills in various casting processes, using materials such as plaster, silicon, resin and ceramic slip, and create 3D sculpture armatures using chicken wire, modroc and clay. We also have glass processes including fusing, slumping and simple casting.
Our extensive digital and film facilities include five dedicated lighting studio spaces with professional equipment, including an infinity cove. Our darkrooms cover a range of black-andwhite process and printing facilities for 35mm and medium and large-format film photography. Equipment is available for students to borrow, including digital and film SLRs; medium and large-format film cameras; medium-format, high resolution digital cameras; portable flash gear; and continuous lighting.
Fashion.
Film/Video & Audio-Visual.
Our equipment meets the most stringent demands of contemporary practice, including a large number of industrial sewing and knitting machines, pressing equipment, pattern-cutting and grading facilities, and specialist millinery equipment. A digital embroidery machine lets you work from computer-generated designs.
This workshop offers industry-standard video production and editing equipment, including high-definition Sony video cameras and top-ofthe-range Apple editing suites. Plentiful lighting kits include ARRI, KinoFlo and Dedo for location and studio work. An important new addition is our high-speed camera which, at 5,000 times the normal speed, offers fantastic opportunities for experimentation. Acoustically insulated sound booths, fitted with state-of-the-art audio equipment, allow perfect recordings of the quietest and loudest sounds. We also have post-production equipment for video and audio, allowing you to seamlessly sew your film or sound project together.
Printmaking. This facility offers a wide range of processes, primarily focused on paper-based printmaking. There are facilities for screen-printing images of up to 1150mm x 750mm, using three Natgraph vacuum tables. The workshop produces etchings using the acrylic-resist etching process, and these and other intaglio plates (aquatint and drypoint and photo-etchings) can be printed on three etching presses, including a 660mm x 1219mm size Rochat press. There is also a powerful hydraulic nipping press for printing relief plates such as lino and collograph. The workshop has a separate area devoted to bookmaking and working with paper, and we recently acquired a letterpress and a large range of type for use with it.
Wood, Metal, Furniture & Jewellery. Our purpose built workshops for working with wood, metal and plastics are equipped with industrial-standard machinery, with specialist machines (some computer-controlled) supplemented by extensive hand and power-tools. All methods of traditional and modern construction, along with decorative techniques and finishes, are achievable with wood. For work with metal and plastics we have a new tube-bender and a micro-welder. The facilities include plasma-cutting, electric and gas welding, brazing, milling, folding and turning. Sand, lost wax and vacuum casting be carried out.
We felt there was a real buzz in the air. Many thanks for making it an inspiring occasion, as always.
End of Year Show & Exhibitions.
Every year in May, a buzz starts to circulate around the college as preparation for the end of year show commences. Studios and workshops are re-arranged; there are sounds of loud hammering and hushed conversation, all sorts of interesting-looking items are carefully labelled and stacked. As the weeks go by, staff and students alike seem to move around more quickly, and a real sense of anticipation starts to build. Finally in June, the college is transformed into a huge temporary gallery, and the doors to the end of year show are thrown open to the public. It’s an amazing showcase of some of the best artistic talent in the country, and anyone can come and see the incredible work our final-year students have produced over the past year.

London exhibitions.
Outstanding exhibits.
Following the end of year show many of our graduating students go on to exhibit their work at prestigious industry shows in London which include Free Range, Graduate Fashion Week, D&AD’s New Blood and New Designers. These exhibitions allow our students the opportunity to showcase their talent to a wider industry audience, to help launch their careers and allow them to see potential competition. Many of our students gain placements, internships, job opportunities or secure good contacts from this industry exposure. We support students in exhibiting at these prestigious shows to ensure they get the best possible start to their careers and exploit any opportunities that arise from the exhibitions and related competitions. Some of our students have gained global media coverage from exhibiting at such events, which can then lead to numerous career opportunities.
Our students regularly win prizes in international competitions, and many of them are practising artists and designers well before they leave college. Therefore, the work on display is of the highest calibre. Exhibits range from photography to graphic design, illustration to fine art, animation to advertising, fashion design to film making, fashion merchandising to textiles and print.
Fantastic exposure for graduating students.
A great opportunity to visit the college.
All graduating students have the opportunity to exhibit their work in our end of year show. Since the event is open to the public it’s an excellent way for potential employers, and other practicing artists and designers, to connect with our students and see who’s doing what. We often have the media in attendance which gives exhibiting students brilliant coverage at the start of their careers.
If you’re still deciding on the right art school for you this show offers a fantastic chance to come and have a good look round, meet our tutors and technicians, and be inspired by the work on display. To find out more about this year’s end of year show, including dates and special accompanying events, please visit our website during May and Jue at www.leeds-art.ac.uk.
We Welcome Everybody.
Leeds College of Art has a diverse student population. Our students range from 16 to 70+ years of age; they come from different ethnic and social backgrounds; a number also have disabilities; and all have different learning styles and needs. The college recognises the benefits this diversity brings, and we aim to provide a learning environment free from discrimination, harrassment and victimisation. We operate a Single Equality Scheme, supplemented by additional guidance for staff, which describes how we will fulfil our statuory duty to promote equality and diversity as well as tackling and eliminating discrimination. We recognise that equality issues are complex, and straddle more than just the protected characteristics defined in the Equality Act 2010. Life circumstances and opportunities also affect us, and we need to take account of issues such as cultural and economic background, access to education, physical and social environment, and health in providing services to our staff and students. Equality is about fairness. It’s at the heart of all that we are and all that we do. Equality goes well beyond just equal opportunities: to tackle traditional disadvantage and exclusion, we want to embed equality across all aspects of our work. This includes a commitment to having services that are of equal value to everyone.
The word ‘diversity’ means ‘a range of difference’. We want to acknowledge and value this range of difference, whether in individuals, groups or in communities. To help drive this process, the college has become accredited as a Level 2 Investors in Diversity organisation. Students here have regular tutorials with members of their programme team, providing the opportunity to discuss any issues of concern, whether personal or programme-related. Personal tutors work with students to ensure that any problems are resolved, and that students’ time here is enriching and worthwhile. The Student Advice Team also provides guidance and support on everything from accommodation to learning support issues. Our goal is to create a positive, inclusive environment where students who require additional support have the same opportunities to benefit, wherever possible, from education or other related provision. Our staff are always happy to talk to students about any aspect of their progress. If you have practical, physical or mobility problems (or any other disability), please let us know. We have a team of staff who can give you additional support, and we’ll try to provide you with any specific equipment, technology or additional support you may need to help with your studies. Despite our best efforts, things do sometimes go wrong. If you feel you’ve been unfairly treated, we will providea supportive environment and an open, fair and efficient procedure for handling complaints. Please talk to your personal tutor, course leader or our Student Advice Team, who can advise on our procedures.
International Students. Studying at Leeds College of Art. We warmly welcome students from all over the world, value the diversity you bring and pride ourselves on offering a friendly, secure environment in an exciting student city. You will be joining a creative community located in the heart of the city of Leeds committed to nurturing your talent and helping you maximise your potential. There is perhaps no better place in the world to study art and design than the United Kingdom, thanks to our cultural heritage and global position in contemporary practise and Leeds College of Art is recognised as one of the leading specialist art colleges in the UK with over 160 years experience of nurturing and developing creative talent. Leeds is a vibrant multi-cultural city, so you’re sure to find other people with a similar background or interests to you to make you feel at home. Leeds also has one of the largest student communities in the UK, representing more than 100 different countries, so there’s plenty of opportunity to make new friends, expand your horizons and enjoy sport, culture and nightlife. It is also much cheaper to live here than in the south of England and London.
International students soon adapt to our approach to teaching and learning which is sometimes more relaxed than you may be used to in your home country and our staff enjoy talking to students generally, not just about their work. Some international students are surprised to find that after classes, students are often left to research and study on their own, using the written brief and reading lists. We also tend to put more emphasis on thinking and problem-solving than skills and knowledge alone.

Leeds College of Art is one of seven GIDE partners, besides Germany, Italy, Belgium, Scotland, Slovenia and Switzerland. Each year, the institutions participate in an international project with a common theme. Staff and students work in mixed groups towards a public exhibition of selected work, held in one of the countries. To find out more, visit: www.gide-net.eu
Your Future Career. Work placements. What could be more important than helping you to build a career based on the skills and talent you develop during your time with us? When you leave the college, you might go on to further study. However, you might choose instead to go into employment, to start your own practice, go freelance or, like many of our graduates, to set up your own business. We recognise the vital importance of helping you to understand what you want to do, and how to do it, when you leave us. That’s why we work extremely hard to provide you with the right practical skills and experience to give you a competitive advantage as you enter the workplace. We recognise the benefits of strong links with industry and the public sector for your future progression. We develop excellent relationships with national and local creative businesses and practitioners, helping to ensure that you have the skills and attributes you need to build a successful career. Each of our degree programmes has been designed to support your future career, providing opportunites specific to our area of study.
All courses encourage placements and you’re usually free to negotiate as many as you like. These are not compulsory but are recommended. Work placements are a superb opportunity to experience real-life practice, and it’s not uncommon for employers to offer jobs to students they’ve met during the placement. Normally placements take placeduring holiday periods but sometimes they are allowed during term time, depending on whether the placement contributes to your course work. The Personal & Professional Practice modules on your course give you the opportunity to research the creative industry and identify suitable companies to approach and often companies and organisations approach the college to see if there are any suitable students.
Business & Enterprise Skills.
Live briefs.
All students have the opportunity to develop business skills and to access advice on how to set up in business. During your time with us you will gain transferable skills such as teamwork, time management, project management, reflection, problem-solving, self-motivation and indepenent decision-making which are important to employers and for self-employment.
Most courses involve the opportunity to respond to a real-life project. This can lead to your work being published or put into production, as well as employment opportunities. You may also consider entering a range of national and international student competitions, these provide great experience and look fantastic on graduating students CVs.
Exhibition & Curating.
Community.
Many of our students have multiple opportunities to organise and curate their own events and exhibitions, in college and at venues across the city and beyond.
Some courses encourage students to use their talents for the benefit of charities and volunteer organisations, this adds real perspective and a local dimension to your experience.
CV, Portfolio & Interview Skills. We’ll work with you to ensure you develop professional, well-structured and comprehensive evidence for your talents and skills, and to help you gain that competitive edge at interview.
Professional events.
Creative Networks.
Visits to trade shows and sector-specific events will broaden your horizons and provide great networking opportunities.
Developed and run by Leeds College of Art, Creative Networks is one of the most popular networking event programmes in Yorkshire, with a large membership of professionals from across the cultural and creative industries coming together to exchange knowledge and information, collaborate on projects and make new business contacts. The idea of Creative Networks is to bring together the region’s creative talent to foster partnerships and collaborations within the area. This provides a powerful network for graduates who choose to stay in the region and start their own business or practice.
Guest Speakers & Visitng Lecturers. We invite some of the creative and cultural industries’ leading talent to come and share their experiences with you. Their input helps to spark ideas for your work and provides that ‘real life’ perspective to plans for your future career. Guest speakers or visiting lecturers are either arranged by the programme teams or are part of a college wide event programme.
After Graduation.
Employment Survey.
Here at Leeds College of Art we recognise the challenges facing enterprising graduates and we’re committed to giving you a helping hand to fulfil your ambitions, whether you aim to set up in business or creative practice.
Employability issues are very important to everyone in college and are implicit in the project work that many of our students undertake. Leeds College of Art regularly assesses the career paths of our graduating students by taking part in national surveys to ensure that the skills and opportunities we provide remain effective.
Our Fellowship Scheme provides a platform for those wishing to set up as independent or freelance artists, designers, curators or project managers. Successful applicants are provided with studio space, access to facilities and advice for a period of up to 12 months free of charge, in return for contribution of time to assist the relevant degree programme. We have found that this exchange greatly benefits current students and provides valuable experience to add to your CV. The college has also formed a unique partnership with Duke Studios, a creative co-working space in the heart of the unofficial cultural quarter of Leeds. our studio space provides a nurturing environment for recent graduates to establish their own businesses, with support and advice provided by the college and by industry professionals. This space is primarily suited to screen-based ‘clean’ activities such as new media and design, but the college is planning to expand its portfolio of incubation units to support business activity and practice related to our full range of degree programmes.
Building a career in the creative industries and finding your niche can take time after graduating from your degree. Whilst Leeds College of Art fared well in the Higher Education Statistics Agency ‘Destination of Leavers in Higher Education’ survey, this only captures data 6 months after graduating. Independent research undertaken between 2008 and 2010 by the Institute of Employment Studies revealed that 95.7% of the Leeds College of Art graduates who responded to the survey were employed following their period study. Significantly, more than three quarters of these graduates were employed in the creative industries. The report culminating from this research, ‘Creative Graduates, Creative Futures’ (2010), provides a very interesting analysis of typical career paths in our industry at: www.employment-studies.co.uk/projects/creative
Leeds: an Amazing City.
You couldn’t ask for a more exciting city in which to live and study! Leeds was named ‘Best place to live in Britain’ by Henley Business School, and it has everything you’ll needs to make student life enjoyable and to support your studies.
The city’s safe and friendly feel, fantastic lifestyle and comparative affordability make it the ideal place to live and learn. 91% of residents said they enjoy a great quality of life here and Leeds was named the UK’s most female-friendly city. Although Leeds is one of the biggest cities in Britain, there’s also a smaller village feel in lots of area, particularly where students live and shop like Headingley and Hyde Park.
Leeds for nighlife & culture.
Leeds for shopping.
Leeds is wide-awake around the clock. There’s a huge range of live music in hundreds of venues around the city. Whether you’re into house, dubstep, indie, rock, hip-hop, techno, funk, soul, folk, punk, jazz or classical, it’s all waiting for you here.
Leeds is widely regarded as the shopping capital of the north. There’s everything from vintage boutiques to Harvey Nichols and hundreds of smaller independent stores. The ultra-stylish Victoria quarter is home to Vivienne Westwood, Mulberry and Paul Smith, but you can also find plenty of great bargains - anywhere from our huge Primark to the fabulous indoor Kirkgate Market, where 800 traders sell everything from books to food and fashion. The new Trinity Leeds shopping centre recently opened with 120 shops, bars and restaurants.
The new Leeds Arena has recently opened and there is also the O2 Academy, the Cockpit, the Wardrobe, Stylus, The HiFi Club, Nation of Shopkeepers, and more - including the charming Brudenell Social Club, recently voted Best Small Venue in the North East by NME. And every August bank holiday, Leeds Festival attracts around 75,000 people to see world-famous and up-and-coming bands (it recently featured Foals, Chase and Status, System of a Down). We’re also home to Leeds West Indian Carnival, Leeds International Film Festival, Leeds Pride, Hyde Park Unity Day, Leeds Digital Festival, the nearby Beacons music festival, and many more. Leeds is also very serious about food: we even have an annual Leeds Loves Food festival. There are restaurants and take-aways for every budget and every taste bud, from the good old Yorkshire pudding to mouth-watering Asian and African restaurants and Michelin-starred fine-dining. Leeds is the only English city outside of London to have it’s own theatre, opera house, ballet company and national museum. Its home to Opera North and the West Yorkshire Playhouse, where you can see world-class performances at student discounts. Leeds is home to The Royal Armouries, the UK’s National Museum of Arms and Armous, one of the largest collections of arms and armour in the world. Leeds also has the spectacular Grand Theatre, which hosts comedy shows, ballet, pantomime and more. There are multiplex and art-house cinemas, (the Hyde Park Picture House is one of the oldest in the country opening in 1914), comedy clubs, bowling alleys, traditional ale houses, student pubs, plush city-centre bars, smaller clubs and super-clubs.
Leeds for opportunity.
Leeds for sport.
Leeds is one of the most prosperous and fastestgrowing cities, with an employment rate above national average (good news for students who would like to remain in Leeds after graduation or looking for part-time work). Besides being a national centre of excellence for the creative industries, it’s the biggest centre for printing, packaging and publishing as well as the biggest financial, legal and business services centre outside London. The Leeds City Region economy is worth £50bn per annum and has a workforce of 1.4 million people.
Leeds is made about sport, with a strong heritage in cricket, rugby and football. Rugby and cricket takes place at Headingley Stadium, and it’s great way to spend a summer weekend with a picnic. But there are also all the gyms, swimming pools, sports clubs and exercise classes you could possibly need to help you stay healthy, make friends and burn off those amazing pub and restaurant experiences.
Leeds for learning.
Leeds for creativity.
Known the world over as a leading centre of learning, Leeds has three universities and several prestigious independent colleges. With over 250,000 students, Leeds offers everything you could need or want - on and off campus.
Leeds is one of the most popular locations for businesses in the creative industries, especially graphic design, advertising, film and new media. Many of these companies are eager for fresh new talent, so you’ll be exposed to some incredible opportunities while studying and after you graduate.
Leeds for countryside.
Leeds for the environment.
Over 65% of the district is greenbelt land, so there are plenty of trees and green spaces to enjoy. Leeds is less than 20 miles from the Yorkshire Dales National Park, which offers some of the most spectacular scenery and countryside in Britain ideal for when you want to escape and go walking, canoeing, climbing, mountain-biking, or exploring.
Leeds is set to become one of the UK’s most sustainable cities. Local businesses and publicsector organisations have committed to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2020, and over 1 million square feet of new developments are rated by BREEAM as ‘excellent’.

Being on the Netball team has given me the opportunity to meet like-minded people, whilst getting fit and enjoying sport at the same time.
Students’ Union, Sports & Activities.
We want to help make everyone’s time here as enjoyable as possible, helping students settle in quickly within our friendly and welcoming communities. We offer a great introduction to a great college and city - but it’s up to students to get the most out of what we offer. Our Students’ Union is constantly developing and growing ever bigger, and we work hard to represent everyone’s views effectively and support students during their time with us.

Student representation.
Entertainment.
The Students’ Union is the voice of our students across the college, the city and the nation. We are run by students, for students, to look after students’ interests.
Whether you feel excited or nervous about Freshers’ Week, our calendar of activities and events will help you jump straight into college life and allow you to get to know your fellow students and this brilliant city.
Each year, Students’ Union Elections are held to appoint students who will run the Student’s Union.
These events are as diverse as our students, so there’s something for everyone.
The team is made up of students from across the entire college, working together to ensure all students’ voices are heard and acted upon.
Every year we try to get more out of Leeds for our students. Our links with some of the city’s finest shops, bars and businesses mean you get great deals, up-to-date news on attractions and every opportunity to relax and have fun.

Sports & activities.
Sports teams.
Get fit, get involved, make friends - and most importantly, have fun!
We ran two teams that participate in the national BUCS (British Universities & College Sports) Leagues. We currently run a male [18+] football team and a female [18+] netball team.
A healthy body leads to a healthy mind, and getting involved in our sports activities will help enrich your student experience by helping you get fit, making friends and having fun. Our general sports activities and classes are open to all students, whether you are an experienced athlete or someone just wanting to improve their fitness. Throughout the year our Students’ Union arranges a programme of varied activities and events - for example, students can get involved in boxing, circuit training, football, netball, table tennis or yoga. Students can also find details of local sports clubs and teams if they want to pursue any sport at a higher level. Activities are held on-site at the college and at professional, external facilities. Students can find out what’s happening through our website and noticeboards in college. A booklet featuring our sports activities information is sent our before enrolment and can be found at both our sites, regular updates are sent to students via email.
Our football team is now in its fifth year of competition and our netball team were recently crowned champions of their division in their very first season. Students are also encouraged to enter into individual BUCS championships in a number of disciplines available throughout the year.

Anne-Marie Atkinson, Photographer BA (Hons) Photography 2011
As a mature student taking a risk retraining in a new discipline, I felt the support of both teaching staff and peers to be profoundly positive. The course provided me with the opportunity to learn industry standard practical skills, whilst developing a solid foundation to grow my design practice in both a creative and business sense.
Throughout our 160 year history we have consistently produced the artists and designers of the future: sculptors Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth have studied here, as did, more recently, Marcus Harvey, Damien Hirst, Georgina Starr, Danny Sangra and Omar Kashoura. In 2013 alone we saw alumni win both the Liverpool Art Prize (Tabitha Moses) and the London Photographic Association Portrait Award (Dan Ross). Alumni of the college work in every area of artistic and creative practice, education and arts management you could possibly imagine, offering a wealth of advice and opportunities to current students, whichever profession you decide to pursue.
