International

Our graphic design courses attract many students from overseas, complementing our students from across Europe, UK and the West Midlands region.

Our School is particularly popular with students from South East Asia. Students are attracted by our idea-based philosophy of our teaching, as opposed to a pure design craft education. 

Overseas Partnerships

We also enjoy international partnerships and top up degrees with the School for Higher and Professional Education (SHAPE) in Hong Kong, Silpakorn University International College (SUIC) in Bangkok and ICAT Design and Media College in India. 

In 2015 our international partners in Hong Kong and Thailand will curate a strand of emerging filmmakers from their own regions and possibly visit our own Swipeside festival. This will enhance the University’s offer to overseas partners and will strengthen our status as an internationalised institution. Discussions have also taken place between our partner institutions and the British Council in Thailand to partner on the project.
