The University offers MA courses in Advertising and Branding, Animation, Comic Art and Graphic Novel, Creative Practice, Creative Writing, Fashion, Fine Art, Graphic Design, Illustration and Photography all delivered by expert tutors who are all highly experienced in their creative field.
Whatever subject you choose you can take advantage of great industry links, providing networking and other professional opportunities, including the opportunity to hear from industry speakers.
You’ll have opportunities to attend events and exhibitions related to your specialism, and some courses benefit from a partnership network providing students with a residency at a partner organisation in order to enhance their skills, experience and knowledge for a career in the discipline.
Postgraduate open days
Open days are a great opportunity to get the information you need when deciding to make that next step to continue your study.
Attending an open day gives you the chance to get a feel for the creative environment at Leeds Arts University, and the opportunity to chat to current students and staff to find out how the University can help you to develop your practice.
International students unable to attend an open day can find out when staff from Leeds Arts University are visiting your country, or can contact our international team at international@leeds-art.ac.uk.
