Our policies and priorities must be studentled and student focused.

Study Your Way At Hull College, the majority of our programmes are available to study on a part-time basis and indeed many of our students choose to study around their existing commitments including full time jobs and families.
Studying part-time has meant I have worked alongside all age groups with different careers and aspirations also helping me prepare for my future. You will gain experience whilst studying which in my opinion makes you stand out above the crowd! Also doing it this way means I can apply any theory I learn in the classroom to the workplace increasing my understanding. I also won’t end up in debt! I now have a new job which I wouldn’t have been prepared for had I not attended this course. Charis

The current course is prescribed by ARB and has been granted five years approval by the RIBA at Part 1 level. The programme offers a distinctive route and benefits from its location within the specialist environs of the Faculty of Arts building. Numbers in each cohort are limited (max 25) which means that every student is allocated a permanent studio space. This encourages staff and students to interact in a way that resembles an atelier, a community of designers who are interested in Architecture and the built environment.
Each of the three years is designed to build individual student’s knowledge, confidence and ability in Architecture. The four main areas of study are Design; Technology; History and Theory of Architecture; and Professional Practice. The nature of the course means that you will be exposed to a wide spectrum of art influence and projects encompassing architecture, landscape, interior and urban design. Students have the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and understanding through a series of ‘live’ project briefs set within the city of Hull and its immediate environs. You will have an increasing responsibility to negotiate the focus of your studies.
The course offers students the opportunity to study at Part 2 level both at Hull and other institutions. There is normally a requirement for students to follow a structured year out in Practice before entering onto a Part 2 course.
(Core and Options)
Hull Graduates are supported in the search for year out placements at the end of the course and dedicated staff offer a number of workshops and one to one support for our ex graduates once placements have been secured.

This Postgraduate Course will offer architecture at Part 2 level. The programme offers a number of distinctive benefits which includes vertical studio teaching within three specialist research groups all set within the specialist environs of the Faculty of Arts building. You will be encouraged to develop your own learning focus within a school environment that has developed a number of research interests relating to the subject of Architecture. Whilst the first degree equips students with knowledge and skills, the post-graduate course at Hull requires you to develop your capabilities within specialist areas.
The three research studios are titled ‘Land’,‘Time’, and ‘Poetry’, and allow students to develop a portfolio of work which offers the best opportunity to focus on areas of specific interest through projects encompassing architecture, landscape, interior and urban design and are informed by both individual and group research. Assignments are varied, enabling opportunities to demonstrate knowledge and understanding through a series of projects that include ‘live’ project briefs set within the city of Hull and its immediate environs. You will have an increasing responsibility to negotiate the focus of your studies through discussion with the course team.
The course (subject to RIBA/ ARB Validation) offers students the opportunity to enter the profession at Part 2 level and follow the prescribed route through to the final examination (Part 3). There is a requirement for students to follow a structured period of supported practice before taking the Part 3 Examination. Students awarded the M.Arch in Architecture will be recognised within the profession as a Part 2 Assistant with the skills to allow integration into the professional workplace.

The teaching is of a very high standard with the tutors specialising in different areas of work. The diversity of facilities and the working atmosphere is very uplifting and positive which motivates you on a daily basis. The course has given me huge confidence to take what I have learnt and start moulding my career within the arts.

Fine Art at HSAD is local, national and international in its outlook. Working primarily within the studio, you are encouraged to contextualise your practice through material and intellectual research beyond the studio and across disciplines. This is a student-centred course, which encourages you to take ownership of your work, to take creative risks and to explore the ever-expanding idioms of art making. The staff team is dedicated to sharing their deep subject knowledge with you and to offering you the best possible tuition. You will enjoy a high level of staff/student contact time, generous studio provision and excellent workshop facilities.
In Year One you are introduced to diverse art practices through studio, skills-based and theoretical modules as you begin to develop an awareness of your own position as an art maker. In Year Two you are encouraged to be a more independent practitioner and to deepen your awareness of how art is made through professional context modules. In Year Three you will interrogate your practice more intensively, and develop your artwork culminating in a final show. The emphasis at this stage is on sustained, independent research and gaining an awareness of how you might develop as a practitioner beyond the course. Annual trips to Europe underpin your cultural and contextual awareness. An extensive visiting speaker and tutor programme introduces you to a diverse range of careers and arts organisations.
You are continuously encouraged to make work in response to a wide range of spaces and locations. This might include exhibiting, installing or performing in pop up spaces, established galleries and non-traditional sites, regionally, nationally and internationally.

The BA (Hons) Graphic Design programme has been established for over 40 years and the enduring aim is to produce highly creative graduates who fully understand the purposes, processes and products of contemporary graphic design practice. Communication is at the heart of the course and a wide range of communication media available to the modern practitioner is explored. Typography, printmaking, photography, 3D fabrication, video, sound, computing/ software, web and social media become part of the students’ communication toolkit. The programme is a member of the Design and Art Direction (D&AD). Students may attend D&AD events including the New Blood Graduate Exhibition, London.
Graphic Design students have the opportunity to work towards their specific and/or personal interests within the course and then the majority progress to employment at a high level of responsibility and creative decision making in the field of professional design. Others may progress to related areas of study and employment where the qualification and skills gained during the course are valued. Some students continue to subject related post graduate study. Contacts with industry are strong and work experience encouraged, preparing students for employment in their chosen area.
The quality of work produced on the course has achieved national recognition in professional journals and through competition successes including Clear Channel Student Advertising Awards, Design and Art Direction (D&AD) Student Awards, Royal Society of Arts (RSA) Design Directions Award Scheme, Starpack Packaging Design Student Awards and Young Creative Network (YCN) Student Awards. As a result employment prospects in the creative industries are good and many have secured positions with award winning design companies.

I find studying illustration very interesting, and I think it’s also a commercially viable discipline for the future. My career ambition is to move into the art industry.

The cultural and creative sectors contribute significantly to the UK economy. All arts disciplines depend on the interaction of artist and audience. The creation and management of events such as gigs, catwalk shows, exhibitions and live performances require imagination, creativity and good organisational and technical abilities. A sound knowledge of health and safety, relevant, up to date legal knowledge and an understanding of how to market and promote events to different audiences are essential. Whether your interests and background are technical, business or artsbased, the course prepares you to enter the arts events management industry.
Arts events management requires many skills. Apart from essential knowledge, the skills required by the industry include the ability to work from concept to realisation of an event. Understanding of context, location and audience, meticulous planning and organisation, team working, communication skills, technical and design ability will all be developed during the course. As you progress, you will develop your own interests and aptitudes. Work experience opportunities will help you to decide on your route into the industry. You will learn to be enterprising and entrepreneurial, to prepare you for employment or freelance work.
Your future is open to a broad range of opportunities which may include working as a self-employed practitioner, offering design solutions for the staging of arts events, planning the logistics of a touring collection of artefacts, curating an exhibition space, staging live performances or raising funds for arts projects, installations and exhibitions. You may offer services in financial and project management, team leadership and entrepreneurship having developed a detailed understanding of the planning, management and safe and effective delivery of Arts Events.

The Course The rapid rise in e-commerce/on-line shopping has signalled an equally rapid rise in the requirement for high quality, high definition 3D images of consumer goods. For example the latest Ikea catalogue contains more 3D wireframe generated images than real-world photographs. The requirement for these images is set to grow at phenomenal rates. Online shopping sites (Asda, Sainsburys, Ocado, Morrisons, Iceland, Tesco, Amazon etc) all require 3D images to be generated to their own specification in terms of viewing angle, resolution, background and lighting as these companies (and their suppliers) attempt to improve their on-line appearance.

Your students have been tremendous - incredible communications, enthusiastic, organised, creative and not afraid to chase me if I am slow in providing requested information. Key word is “professional” - I have worked with many groups of students over the years and this group must be the most professional of all. They have taken the brief very seriously indeed and because of their awareness of the newest technology I am confident that I will receive a well designed, upto-date, conforming to brief, solid and future proof submission from the groups. You must be very proud of the students involved and they will clearly make a valuable addition to any business that they are subsequently involved in. Thank You!

Top Up Degrees
Master’s Degrees
These are one-year pre-degree courses designed to help those who have either been out of education for some time or who do not have traditional qualifications to progress onto a degree or higher level study programme.
If you have successfully completed a HND or Foundation Degree you can choose to ‘top up’ to a Bachelors level qualification - this normally takes one year full time.
A Master’s Degree is available to graduates who wish to develop specialist knowledge in a particular field of study and normally requires one year of full time study.
Higher National Certificate (HNC)
The HND is again a vocationally led higher level programme oriented around a specific industry. It is roughly equivalent to the first two years of a degree.
Normally these are awarded by the industry body to which a programme of study relates, such as the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD). Students undertake these programmes to assist with the professional work place development and are normally studied part time.
Foundation Degrees
Bachelor’s Degrees
This is a vocational higher education qualification which combines academic study with work place learning. A foundation degree equips you with relevant skills for a particular area of employment and is usually studied over two years full time, and can lead to an honours degree with a further year of study.
These honours degrees are normally referred to as a BA (Bachelor of Arts), BSc (Bachelor of Sciences) or BEng (Bachelor of Engineering) and the award will depend on your subject of study. A degree normally takes three years to complete full time and up to six years part time.
Higher National Diploma (HND)
Jargon Buster
The HNC is a vocational qualification which is roughly equivalent to one year of a degree - progression is normally onto the equivalent HND.
