About us

Welcome to the School of Creative and Cultural Industries, a vibrant community of makers, producers, performers, writers, scholars and storytellers. With strong ties to Bristol’s creative sectors, we’ll immerse you in the city’s dynamic arts and cultural scene.

Located across two campuses, the School is spread across Bristol’s creative ecosystem. Get inspired in industry-standard studios and production facilities at City Campus. Or enjoy a range of stimulating humanities courses at Frenchay Campus, using the latest insight and technology.

As one of the biggest creative hotspots outside London, Bristol is home to many cultural and media organisations. Our partnerships with local museums, news hubs and artistic venues, including the BBC, Arnolfini and ScreenSkills, offer opportunities for real-world learning and professional placements.

At UWE Bristol, we believe creativity powers innovation, growth and progress. We work with agile industry leaders to create new futures, developing digital and immersive technologies through our research, from animation to virtual reality.
