Study UK Subject Focus: ART & DESIGN

As the creative industries move into first place to be the fastest growing economic sector in the UK, responsible for 5.6% of jobs, and worth £76.9bn to the UK economy – Art & Design graduates have a lot of opportunities ahead. 

Many employers now actively seek those who have studied the arts. Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, was fond of saying his success was due to his hiring artists and musicians fascinated by technology rather than computer geeks. Top talent management agency, The Curve Group specialising in financial and business services, concurs: “Employees with an arts degree have developed more quickly in their roles from the start. They have discipline, confidence and can accept criticism.”

The arts develop the broader dimensions of the human being – mind, body and soul. The arts can express the inexpressible and make sense of things that otherwise do not seem to. This can be very fulfilling and helps us function as human beings – which can only be good for society as a whole.

With the reinstatement of the 2 year post-study work visa, opportunities are available for talented international students to build successful careers in the UK.  Study a 1 year Master’s, you can work for 2 years after graduation.  That makes studying in the UK the best value-for-money for your investment.
