‘Improver’ means you’ve learnt the basics or have previously completed a beginners course and want to extend your knowledge.

Our talented teachers are practicing artists and creatives, some of whom teach on our Undergraduate courses. All of them are experienced teachers and have professional experience in their field.

Progression onto degree level or masters level study is available at Plymouth College of Art. Throughout the year we hold Open Days where students and their families can visit our campuses, chat to current students and staff, and find out about all the options available to them for creative study here at Plymouth College of Art.
