Benefit from our global creative connections and access to our high-profile alumni network of practising artists and curators.

Asian Universities Network

ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø School of Art is part of a network of Asian universities, who annually host a joint exhibition at one of the partner universities.

These include the Seoul Institute of Visual Arts in South Korea, Musashino Art University in Tokyo and Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts in Shanghai.

Each year a group of six students take part in a visit to one of the partner universities, where they engage in workshops, study visits, and a joint exhibition which they develop with their international peers.

 

 
"ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø has partnerships with several international art schools, and so when I was offered an opportunity to exhibit my work at the Seoul Institute of Arts I jumped at the chance."
Alia Coleman, BA Art and History of Art
