Art and Design International Summer School

17th July to 28th July
Art and Design International Summer School which combines taster sessions in Art, Design, Photography, Illustration and Fashion with cultural visits to Manchester International Festival, Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art, Peak District and Chester.

The Art and Design Summer School will entail a combination of hands-on creative projects, ranging from drawing, to photography, illustration, painting and design with visiting key exhibitions and museums in Manchester and Liverpool.

You will produce art and design works in response to open briefs, specific sites (i.e. Tabacco Warehouse Liverpool; Northern Quarter Manchester) and collaborate with students from the British Univerisity of Egypt and from across the university on a circular economy/sustainable group project.

You will produce art and design works, engage in the largest visual arts biennial in the UK and the Manchester International Festival and meet representatives from Fashion, Design and Art Industry. You will also gain inter-cultural competency by working together with students from Egypt and from across Manchester Met.

Please note, currently, students will need to cover the cost of their journeys to Liverpool and the Peak District, but we are looking to see if this can be subsidised. Please keep checking this page for updates.
