Placing emphasis on practical and/or work-simulation learning, we aim to create students who are creative-on-demand and job-ready, and provide opportunities to work and collaborate with industry partners, such as ITV Cymru Wales, BBC Cymru Wales, BBC Drama, Badwolf, Cloth Cat, Blue Stag and many more.
Cutting edge equipment and creative, professional spaces for you to master your art.
The Cardiff campus truly is a sight to behold. Inside you'll find a range of dedicated, thought-out spaces that strike the perfect balance of studying and socialising. It is also in the perfect location allowing us to collaborate with some of the best employers in South Wales.
We've invested in the latest technology, software and equipment to ensure that you are regularly using and learning in the same facilities that you would within industry and have plenty of dedicated spaces for students to collaborate on projects.
