Art and design practice has a long and rich history in Belfast and the school was established in 1849, making it the oldest in Ulster University.

Since then provision has grown and thrived and today the school is one of the leading providers of art and design education in the UK and the largest on the island of Ireland. We provide a centre of excellence and an environment for innovation, creativity and energy.
