About CSAD [edit]
Cardiff School of Art & Design opened in 1865 as the Cardiff School of Art, and is the oldest constituent part of Cardiff Metropolitan University.[1][2] It operates on the Llandaff Campus, as well as on its own site at Howard Gardens.[3] It was assessed as one of the top 40 destinations to study art and design in the UK by guardian.co.uk in 2010.[4]
CSAD has nine 'Subject' areas: Fine Art, Ceramics, Architectural Design & Technology, Product Design, Graphic Communication, Illustration, Drawing, Textiles and a history and theory subject area called Constellation. All of its 'Subjects' can be studied at undergraduate, (BA/BSc) postgraduate (MA/MDes/MFA/MSc) and at research degree level (PhD) or Professional Doctorate (PDoc). CSAD has a number of partner colleges who deliver its Art & Design Foundation Diploma, HNCs, Foundation Degrees and a further BA on its behalf. CSAD has a jointly delivered MDes in Experience Design with the Samsung Art and Design Academy in South Korea as well as a number of other partnerships as far away as Los Angeles and Australia.
In the Summer of 2014 CSAD will move into a new purpose built building with extensive studios and workshops at the Universities Llandaff Campus.
CSAD is affiliated with the Association of Commonwealth Universities, European University Association, and University Alliance.[5] It is also home to the Centre for Fine Art Research and also the Centre for Ceramic studies.[6]
