Step through the portal into the realm of creative industries!

In the world of creativity, challenges are not seen as roadblocks but as stepping stones. There is a thrill in turning abstract concepts into tangible expressions and seeing your ideas come to life. At Cambrian’s School of Creative Industries, we want to turn your artistic talent into a viable career.

Our Art and Design Fundamentals program explores where your strengths lie. You’ll experiment with a rich cross-section of style and media, from drawing to 3D design to printmaking. But our commitment to your talent goes far beyond the canvas — we guide you through the steps of building a personal brand in our Design and Visual Arts program.

Master the ability to communicate across a variety of platforms, from YouTube to podcasts to social media, with our Media Communications program. Transform your storytelling abilities into a rewarding career. Join the ranks of great communicators when you learn the ropes of the public relations industry.

In our Game Design program, you’ll go from concept to market-ready productions as you learn to develop authentic experiences for both consumer enjoyment and commercial training. Our Graphic Design program transforms you from a neophyte into a graduate with a professional-grade portfolio prized by potential employers. The field of creative industries is your doorway to a fulfilling, impactful career.
