Set on the banks of the River Avon, Bristol is a beautiful, passionate and artistic city filled with young creatives. It’s colourful, bright and one of the UK’s fastest-growing creative cities. A long-term home to the BBC with a Channel 4 hub, it’s also the home of Banksy, Massive Attack and Aardman Animations.
Our campus, newly refurbished in 2021, is based in the heart of the city on Broadmead in a space that used to house the historic Bierkeller (the site of Nirvana’s first UK gig amongst other incredible artists) and has been designed to promote collaboration and creativity. We’ve kitted our space out with the best professional equipment and specialist spaces like photo studios, green screen rooms, performance spaces and production pods, so you’ll be ready for an industry with an understanding of the tools and skills needed to really flourish.
