About

Leeds Arts University is the only specialist arts university in the North of England and has been delivering high quality art and design provision for over 170 years.

Story

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.

More of a corporate machine than an educational institution. Went here years ago and remember meeting the vice principle. Looked like a bit of a lizard. Completely and utterly out of touch think current PM, as all the management were has it changed? Probably not. It’s a cliquey, pretentious playground that favours rich kids.nnNot sure what I spent my £27k on exactly as I pretty much educated myself . Absolutely nothing nothing in the way of developing your own professional practice, getting a job or any of that, so you’ll be straight back to your mums.nnThey refused to remark my dissertation, too, which I was fuming about, as I was one of the few that went WAY above and beyond.nnAs a professional who has been working in the industry for a while now I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this place if you want a proper education in design or anything creative. If you’re a my DaDdY gOt Me a PoNy type then yeah, it might suit you. Bring your crayons and get busy making “art”. Or why not go throw a tin of beans at art that someone else has made, in the way of “making a statement”? For the robots out there, this is called humour.nnThere’s so much more I could say, but would probably get the review removed because it’s infuriating tbh. I’m sure there are some genuine teachers here who will feel the same way. But the ones I had were absolutely pretentious and creatively stifling. Not bad people, just unfit for the job. I went here for college too, and had AMAZING teachers on the graphic design course like Jane Denton who is a LEGEND. Different world. I stayed on thinking it would be just as good. I’m sure there’s probably worse, but I genuinely couldn’t tell you what my £27k went on. I’ve spent £10 on Udemy courses that have taught me WAY more.nnCheck out Shillington College. Or anywhere else. Leeds Beckett had a better vibe. Or even better, get out of the North. It’s grim. Or succumb to a life of mediocrity and get a job stacking shelves at Aldi because it pays better than being a creative does. Sadly. Wherever you work, a mortgage is nothing but a dream these days unless you’ve got an inheritance or a mY dAdDy gOt mE a PoNy aNd a HoUSe nnEnd of review
Comic and concept art course Is not worth the money. Only know 1 person in the industry and a few more in relevant jobs, even after 3 years graduation, class size of 50-70. Not aware of anyone in lower years in industry either.nThere were a lot of problems with the course and unfulfilled promises from both them and the uni itself.nTutors were lovely but you’re genuinely not taught much, rather left to your own devices. Almost all classes are either a brief or a critique. Classes cost £100+ Per hour.nnIn our final year we only had 30 mins of class - which was critique - per week.nNever had an end of year show. Tutors promised a year book but never made it. No reimbursement during covid. Silence once you graduate.nnCareer wise it’s a tough course for employability. They have no industry links and so cannot get you jobs, experience, or placements.nComics doesn’t really have a jobs market, it’s the kind of thing you have create yourself. I can only think of 1-2 people who are selling their short comics at pop ups, not their job, but a hobby.nnAnd concept art has a lot of people for a very small pool of jobs. You have to be very competitive and driven.nAlmost all jobs in concept art at least near Leeds is for games. And the industry infamously isn’t the best for graduates. While also currently struggling with general layoffs. They lack long term skilled professionals hence why you’ll see many jobs are for lead/senior/ or ask for a few years exp not grads. Most jobs you’ll find are for character/environ artist which require 3D proficiency. Which we only had a few classes on Zbrush. You’re not taught much 3D at all, certainly not enough for a 3D related job.nI believe there’s only one person from my entire year and none in lower years working as a concept artist even 3 years on.nnI don’t want to rant too much, because yes this course did have its fun moments. And everyone has a chance at the job they want, it doesn’t matter if it’s 3 or 10 years after grad. You can still do it! But we shouldn’t be sold a course in which you do have to wait yearsnBut I feel you may find a better path to your goals than this course. Or at least make it your life mission to apply for every internship you want possible one of the best perks of uni you may brush over. Esp for concept art. They make almost no attempt to collect up and coming internships and tell you about them, so do look into it yourselfnnI just found while we did this course you’d often hear complaints. Things like: at one point the whole class complained about a certain tutor, actually kicking him from the course. Because it was that irrelevant what we were doing.nnMay have improved since as it’s been 3 years since grad for me. But, In terms of 3yrs & £30,000+ your loan incurs interest from the first day you take it out, meaning it is much much more than that £9k a year they tell you I wouldn’t say the course is worth that cost - as you have a 98% chance of paying off the loan with a non relevant job. Look forward to being a: Barista, teaching assistant, supermarket worker, office worker, unemployed. Which is what real people from this course work as now when they did this course to try avoid thatnWith this course you’ll struggle to get a job that’s anything to do with art or design, let alone do comic or concept art.
I went in there and it was nice. It's small but it's nice. I don't know if I was dressed up nice or something but people kept looking at me. Surreal experience. Out of this world. Otherworldy. Anyways yeah. Nice
I only saw the building from outside . Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and I think Damien Hurst studied here.
If you are a disabled student, don't bother attending LAU; especially if you are Autistic. None of the staff are brave enough to help suffering students & they have weak ethics. I've spent the last 2 years recovering from attending & being a student at Leeds Arts University & thankfully, I didn't kill myself cause of their awful treatment; how embarrassing would that have been.
