- Edinburgh College of Art -School of DesignIn the School of Design we develop methods and approaches to people and culture that equip our students to design excellence into our lives. Our philosophy We are not just designing artefacts. By understanding the world around us, and understanding where design vision and ideas lie within a global context, we develop challenges to the way we live. Through a process of collaboration, we encourage students to build with us a collective philosophy of what design is and what it might become. Making connections Edinburgh is a world-leading centre of knowledge in science, engineering and innovation. The School of Design is developing a network of these key partners which will place the School at the forefront of research development. Our mission The studio and workshop environment in the School of Design is spectacular. Our staff are leading practitioners and theorists in their fields. We encourage our designers to create visions and identities that are both innovative and sustainable. We are educating not only problem-solvers but also opportunity-seekers. Our students will become the designers/thinkers/makers who will positively shape the world we inhabit.
- Edinburgh College of Art - SoundIf you've studied sound or music technology at university, been working in sound professionally, or if you've been experimenting with sound as a composer, sound artist or engineer and are looking for a way to develop your voice, this programme is for you. We offer an interdisciplinary taught Masters programme at the forefront of the University of Edinburgh’s rich expertise in the creative arts, music and digital media design. Uniquely, we balance challenging practical project work with theoretical and critical study. This creates an inspiring and motivating work environment. Studying for an MSc in Sound Design will expand your appreciation of the potential for sound design across a range of musical and artistic practice. Crucially, you’ll develop as a sonic artist, be challenged to rethink what sound design is and why it is central to a number of developments in the arts, the media, critical theory and even science.
- Edinburgh College of Art - SculptureWe aim to provide our students with a supportive environment that will extend your creative outlook and skills base. Whilst sculpture has a legacy stretching back 70,000 years, it has been at the forefront of much of the change that has taken place in contemporary art in recent times. We expect that you will embrace this cultural legacy but with your eye fixed firmly on the future. Our programme of study allows you to gather skills through hands-on experience in our purpose-built workshops and studios, whilst at the same time, developing fluency in a visual language which is concerned with form, space and presence. We seek to empower you with a wide range of making and thinking strategies that will allow you to make informed decisions about what kind of artist/sculptor you wish to become. We encourage our students to push the limits of their own creative boundaries and to take risks through experimentation. Research, drawing and visual thinking are key to the underpinning of your practice and we encourage a philosophy that allows the mind to recruit whatever is necessary to improve and feed your work. Sculpture staff are engaged in a wide range of research interests that feed into the teaching spectrum and this enhances and informs the discussions around the making and exhibiting of work produced by students. Critical discussion is central to the teaching programme and beyond the valuable one-to-one teaching you will receive, there are weekly project spaces and other events which involve students at all levels in the wider debates about making and thinking about contemporary art practice. Our students leave well equipped to immediately engage with the professional art world and ahead of many graduates possess the ability to give talks and presentations, mount substantial exhibitions and lead the way forward in the constantly changing and exciting field of contemporary art.
