Employability

Our graduates have an excellent record of landing jobs in a variety of areas. “Our students are extremely employable because they’re impressively self-reliant and self-motivated,” explains Pete Cobb, the widely exhibited sculptor and printmaker who leads our course. A good proportion of our students are still producing their art several years after graduation. Some set up their own studios or create niche businesses, such as making innovative stage props. Others build careers in curating, teaching, the cultural industries, or arts administration. You’ll benefit from our close links with the vibrant east London gallery scene and all the major art venues. We believe you’ll graduate from our course as a confident, original, well-connected artist.
