If you’re passionate about art, design, fashion or illustration, New City College is where you can experiment, create and showcase your talent.

You’ll work across a range of media, from traditional techniques to digital and 3D design, building the skills to stand out. You’ll exhibit your work in public shows, enter national competitions, and even take on real commissions.

Our students have collaborated with the Royal Ballet, the Saatchi Gallery and more, gaining recognition and experience along the way. Taught by practising artists and designers, you’ll build a professional portfolio that opens doors to top art schools, universities and creative careers. With exhibitions, competitions and international trips, you’ll get much more than a qualification.
