Swansea College of Art
An Art School Experience In A Contemporary University
An art college education is unlike any other form of university education. Its uniqueness lies in the way in which it fosters, directs and encourages individuality, creativity and innovation.
The UK has an amazingly rich and diverse range of art colleges with a distinguished heritage of producing globally recognised artists, designers, animators, filmmakers, and performers. Swansea College of Art, as the oldest and most established art college in Wales, is a well-respected part of that tradition.
What can I study?
All of our courses share a common philosophy; to enable individuality, creative freedom and academic flexibility, all of which we believe are essential in finding your own voice within your chosen creative field.
