Undergraduate

Undergraduate study at the College of Creative Arts offers a unique blend of learning opportunities designed to excite, inspire and challenge. More than simply a place for learning how to design or how to make art, it is also a place for questioning, experimenting and looking at things differently. Design and fine arts are catalysts for thought and action - they trigger response and they invite engagement. Our undergraduate programmes get students on the road to becoming agents of change.

Central to a creative arts education at CoCA are the studio courses - where students get to explore, reflect, experiment, make a mess, rework, refine, CREATE! They are also bombarded by lectures, tutorials, workshops, seminars, demonstrations, discussions and critiques that all contribute to a rich programme of professional and scholarly activity. The results of this intense hotbed of ideas and practice are exhibited throughout the year, to be seen throughout the physical and virtual environments around us.

The ability to test, trial and experiment is a defining characteristic of studying at CoCA. Before committing to a specific field of study, students can have a taste of each field available at CoCA and then make up their mind from an informed position. The multi-disciplinary make-up of the College facilitates cross-pollination and collaboration throughout the programmes. This is the distinctiveness of CoCA’s undergraduate degrees - they offer a productive testing ground for ideas and for individuals.
