Facilities

Hone your craft in our state-of-the-art creative facilities. From industry-standard recording studios and a fully equipped theatre, to professional workshops and studios, our facilities provide students with the opportunity to study in a truly collaborative and creative environment.

Our creative degrees are based at our West Durrington Campus, where you will have access to facilities dedicated to your course, as well as extensive subject libraries and Mac suites with up-to-date professional software.

Our students benefit from photography studios with lighting, an infinity wall, and dark rooms to explore analogue photography. Students enjoy a dedicated textile workshop with traditional and digital printing facilities, a dye lab, and industry-standard knitting and sewing machines. In the sewing and pattern cutting studios, you can also experiment with electronic pattern cutting. If printmaking is more your thing, then we have a number of printmaking machines available, including laser cutting and 3D printing.

We have a 160-seat on-site theatre, including a fly tower and professional lighting and sound equipment. Backstage there is a scene dock and paint frame, with workshops for wood, metal, ceramics, plaster, resin and plastics to fully develop your prop making skills. We also have makeup and rehearsal studios, and stage over 30 shows a year.

State-of-the-art recording studios and a suite of live music and control rooms complete the extensive facilities that are available to our students. Explore and experiment with the aid of our knowledgeable technicians across all subject areas.
