However, many of our students progress directly to university. Former students have gone on to study art related disciplines at a number of top universities, including the University of Edinburgh, the London College of Fashion, the University of Manchester, Kingston University and Leeds College of Art, studying a broad range of degrees in Fine Art, Fashion and Textile Retailing, Marketing, Surface Pattern Design and Costume Design, to name but a few.
