The School of Arts & Humanities bridges research and study in the fine and applied arts together with curating, writing and the history of design.

We pay attention to the arts within the everyday, and to the everyday as site of practice, and as archive and technological advance. We maintain close and productive links with numerous organisations, world-renowned theatres, galleries, libraries and museums that depend on the Arts & Humanities and which are central to our cultural and economic future; these links ensure that our work is relevant and public facing.
