Department of Art & Design at Sheffield Hallam

We are an internationally connected creative community of diverse disciplines housed under one roof. We shape our students' futures, preparing them to shape the world through applied knowledge and creativity.

Our art and design courses promote alternative ways of thinking, making and communicating; they provide space, tools and inspiration to develop creative practice and a clear career path. Students get expert teaching from active practitioners and researchers who encourage the adoption of innovative and resourceful approaches that both perceive and create opportunities for better lives. Students develop their creative practice whilst interacting with peers in well-devised learning spaces, physical making and digital workshops. At the same time, students learn professional skills by working on applied briefs facilitated through our links with commercial clients, cultural institutions, businesses, and organisations.
