Birmingham School of Art
Birmingham School of Art uses knowledge and creativity to drive transformation; for our School, moving forwards is everything.
Being a student at Birmingham School of Art you will join a community of learners who are all creative thinkers and makers. This community is something at the heart of the School and which exists both within and outside of the individual courses through Night School, Film Club, Knitting Club, the Angry Margaret Protest Choir and the public programme of events which are organised by staff and students.
Our students and staff have access to the vast range of resources and opportunities that being part of Birmingham City University offers, from Student Union societies and clubs, to careers fairs and employability workshops.
