Working in Industry

Our Jewellery students work with local, national and international businesses to enhance their learning through placements, workshops, live briefs and guest lectures from industry professionals.

Learning in a hands on environment and from professionals that have a wealth of knowledge allows you to be as prepared as possible once you leave university.
