Learn more about an exciting range of creative courses, including Fine Art, Illustration, Graphic Design, Fashion Textiles, Fashion Communication and Interior Design. Each session will be combined with a technical activity, ranging from screen printing to bookbinding.
Our Art & Design subject taster day is for students in Year 12 / Level 3 (Year 1) and will take place at our Bower Ashton campus. We hope the event will inspire and support students with their future career and progression choices.
We have designed the day to include lots of interactive opportunities to explore our range of courses, as well as the opportunity to meet current students and take a tour of our specialist facilities and picturesque campuses.

KEY INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVENT
Places are initially limited to 15 students per school or college to allow us to engage with as many institutions as possible. We expect demand to be high but may be able to offer more places to you at a later stage, based on interest and capacity. If demand for an event exceeds spaces available, we will operate a waiting list.
NB: Schools/college staff will be expected to accompany their students to the event (rather than students travelling and attending UWE Bristol independently). If your attendee numbers decrease between time of booking and the event date, please let us know so we can ensure that all spare places are filled.
