Faculty of Arts and Architecture

The College of Arts and Humanities in the University of Brighton is a centre of education in the creative arts, architecture, design and humanities. In 2009 it took its new name, replacing the former Faculty of Arts, embracing new subject areas from departments in Literature, Languages and Media.

Subject areas offer study across the creative and practice arts, design, architecture, media, cultural critical studies and the humanities.

It is also home to significant design and screen archives and hosts the Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Art Design & Media (ADM HEA). In 2005 it was also recognised as a Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning through Design (CETLD), bringing together the knowledge and expertise of the University of Brighton's The Faculty of Arts & Architecture; The Royal Institute of British Architects; the Royal College of Art and The Victoria & Albert Museum.

Brighton Faculty of Arts and Architecture has supported and educated many key figures in the arts. In 2009 an Exhibition, From Art School to University: Art and Design at Brighton 1859-2009, paid tribute to many of them and included Turner Prize winners, iconic design work, cutting-edge dance for camera and classic rock and pop imagery.

Turner Prize winners Keith Tyson and Rachel Whiteread studied there, as did artists Alison Lapper, Keith Coventry, Sylvia Sleigh, designer Julien Macdonald and writer-illustrator Emily Gravett.

Students, lecturers and researchers once at Brighton includes sculptor Anthony Gormley, Kate Greenaway Medal winners Emily Gravett, Raymond Briggs and Quentin Blake; artist Mike Chaplin; children's writer-illustrator Lucy Cousins; Magnum photographer Mark Power; fashion designers Barbara Hulanicki and Julien Macdonald.
