<p>Creativity doesn’t just happen in the studio, workshop or darkroom. It’s a way of life.

Our undergraduate programmes examine the interconnectedness of the arts and society, exploring distinct disciplines, expanded fields of study, and the spaces emerging between, across and beyond.<br /></p> <p>Learn more about the <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate">creative undergraduate degrees</a> we offer in the recorded Open Day talks below.</p> <p> </p>

<p>Located on the coast of Devon in the South West of England, Plymouth is Britain’s Ocean City. </p> <p>With a beautiful waterfront and harbour that includes a lovingly restored 1935 Art Deco lido, and plenty of stunning surrounding countryside, our thriving city offers a wealth of inspiration alongside vibrant culture and world-class events.</p>

<p>Plymouth's place in the history books is a true reflection of how much our city values international perspectives. Across this harbour have sailed Charles Darwin and The Beagle, Robert Falcon Scott bound for the Antarctic, and Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance. The world-famous Mayflower Steps on Plymouth’s historic Barbican mark the place that the Pilgrim Fathers set sail from on their voyage to the New World in 1620.</p> <p>In the same adventurous spirit, Arts University Plymouth is dynamic, inclusive and forward-thinking. We welcome a growing number of <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/international"><strong>international students</strong></a> and draw upon an art school ethos without frontiers. </p> <p>Our <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/study/distance-learning"><strong>Distance Learning</strong></a> courses allow students from all over the world to join a truly global community of creative learners, with study beginning in the Spring term (January) and the first year of study taking place remotely, so that you can study your first year online at home, in the studio or even using the facilities at an international host institution. After your first year of studying remotely, you will then progress to studying on campus here in Plymouth.</p>
