Creative Arts and Design

With a history of delivering expert craft, art and design education for more than 130 years, Buckinghamshire New University is the perfect place to start your creative career.

You’ll benefit from our great facilities, dedicated studios, tutors with decades of experience and courses that perfectly mix practical skills, creative challenges and industry knowledge. We also have a long list of successful alumni, who often return to give tutorials, workshops, mentoring, advice, placements and internships.

With London only a short journey away, you can also take the opportunity to visit some of the world’s best exhibitions, galleries and museums for inspiration.

It’s like the illuminati. We are everywhere. Going to BNU felt like you were part of one big family. Studying, living with and eating with the same people every day creates a huge bond. Still to this day someone will introduce themselves as being ‘from BNU’. It gives you a great sense of family and community.
