Our Aims

Duncan of Jordanstone is one of the few art and design institutions in the UK that is part of a world class University, renowned for its pioneering research and creative practice. This commitment to excellence infuses all that we do.

The College believes that teaching and learning is led by research, which explains why it employs so many practitioners in art and design who are engaged in world class research. New knowledge, ideas and innovation in media and techniques flows from this research into the teaching environment.

We are an advanced art school reaching out from our traditional strengths and commitment to studio based teaching, to connect ourselves with the challenges and opportunities of our fast changing world. In doing this we are radically redefining the roles of the artist and designer, and highlighting a new relevance for the visual disciplines.

Duncan of Jordanstone is an international art and design college. We attract students worldwide, provide our undergraduates with international exchange opportunities, and our staff undertake research and exhibit their work throughout the world. But we remain proud... [ Read All ]
