The Department of Art and Communication offers an exciting interdisciplinary mix of art and design courses. Our approach builds on the potential for contemporary, experimental, commercial and trans-disciplinary practices.
We seek to stimulate progressive art and design practice combined with promoting live exposure and exchange with national and global creative industries.
Our departments draw on the expertise of staff with national and international reputations for their research, teaching and professional engagement.
We offer courses at undergraduate, masters and doctoral level. Teaching at Huddersfield is officially rated Gold under the UK government’s Teaching Excellence Framework.
