As a student at HCA, you’ll be a part of one of our four Schools; Fine Art, Materials and Design, Performance or Visual Communication. The Schools group together similar courses, and while our flexible curriculum allows you to collaborate on projects with students across all courses, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and work with different kit within your School.
