Hereford College of Arts (HCA) is one of the UK’s historic arts schools with our roots in a great tradition of art and design education. We were founded almost 170 years ago but are wholly focused on creative education for the modern world, preparing students for a vast array of employment, enterprise and personal practice.
We are different to larger universities as we keep class sizes smaller so students benefit from lots of contact with tutors, technicians, engage with clients, and win live briefs.
Tutors encourage students to express themselves through distinctive, creative, commercially savvy and ambitious ideas, working both as an individual and collaboratively with students from other disciplines at HCA.
All of our staff are ready and willing to put their years of experience behind guiding your work and helping you develop your unique creative practice. Just a little help from even one mentor can save you from years of struggling to figure out who you are as an artist, designer, maker or performer, where you want to go with your work, and how to get there.
We encourage our creative students to develop their creative flair in an artistic and vibrant community that both supports and challenges them.
