Leeds Arts University

Leeds Arts University is the only specialist arts university in the North of England and a dynamic place to study Higher Education and Further Education courses. The entire University is dedicated to the study of art, design and crafts. Over the last 170 years, we've built a national and international reputation as an exciting alternative to traditional universities, consistently produced the artists and designers of the future: sculptors Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth studied with us in the 1920s and, more recently Marcus Harvey, Turner Prize-winner Damien Hirst, Danny Sangra and Omar Kashoura were students here.

Right at the heart of one of the most exciting cities in the country, we're smaller than most universities, so the atmosphere is friendlier and you get plenty of personal attention to offer you a uniquely focused learning experience and big enough to offer you all the opportunities, resources and support you're looking for.
