Founded in 1870, the Leicester School of Art is the first element of what became De Montfort University. Today, our visual arts courses continue our ethos of encouraging students to express and develop their creativity within a supportive and experimental environment. We encourage an open-ended spirit of enquiry and collaboration across disciplines, enabling you to produce thought-provoking and dynamic work. You will develop employability skills to prepare you for a range of rewarding careers in the creative industries.
