Arts University Plymouth is an independent, specialist arts university run by artists and designers for artists and designers.
Founded in 1856 as the Plymouth Drawing School, the University offers a comprehensive spectrum of specialist undergraduate, postgraduate, and pre-degree study in arts, design, and media, combining over 165 years of creativity with contemporary thinking and cutting-edge, industry-standard resources.
Our university is widely regarded as a catalyst for individual, societal, and ecological transformation, delivering innovative and distinctive learning, teaching, and research through its interdisciplinary ecosystem of materials, processes, technologies, and knowledge exchange.
Our 13,000 square metres of studios and workshops across four city-centre sites are filled with professional workspaces, studios, and state-of-the-art facilities. Currently home to over 1500 students, but with ambitions to grow, our vibrant community is a thriving creative hub of collaboration, innovation, thinking, and making.
Arts University Plymouth was voted by students as University of the Year for SW England at the annual What Uni Student Choice Awards 2024, won Best Small or Specialist Institution in 2022, and was voted second-place in the same category in 2023.
