Ceramics – BA (Hons)


The Cardiff School of Art & Design has the largest ceramics centre in Europe, with a global reputation for its courses that attracts students, practitioners and academics from all over the world.

With 100% student satisfaction in the 2011 National Student Survey, our BA (Hons) Ceramics programme offers you the opportunity to work across a broad range of processes, exploring the full potential of ceramic applications. You create your own route through the programme, working in both traditional materials and, where appropriate, digital media.

You will have access to excellently equipped workshops and have a dedicated personal studio space. A dynamic team of technician demonstrators, all first rate ceramicists in their own right, will support you.
