The School of Art & Design is delighted to present a programme of professional courses linked to our subject strengths in the fields of Fine Art, Design Crafts and Graphic Design and Illustration. Each course is led by an experienced tutor and is designed for students who wish to update their professional knowledge, extend skills or who are thinking about a career change.

If you’re a busy person with a full or part-time job, you probably think that there is no way you can pursue another interest or gain the knowledge and skills necessary to develop your career. At the School of Art and Design within OCVC, we recognise this situation and are experts at delivering flexible day and evening courses to best suit the needs of part time students.

When you study with us you can be sure that you will receive the highest quality of teaching and you will benefit from all the resources that the college has to offer to support your learning experience. Tutors are passionate about their subject and actively participate in the creative industries which enrich our student experience.

Our aim is to help you reach your potential.

What you will need to bring with you

Please bring a notebook and pen to your first session. A range of basic materials will be provided although you may wish to purchase more specialist materials as the course progresses. Each tutor will provide you with a full equipment list.
