Arts University Plymouth is a specialist public arts university located in Plymouth, Devon, in South West England. Formerly known as Plymouth College of Art, it traces its origins to the Plymouth Drawing School founded in 1856, making it one of the UK's oldest continuous art education institutions. It received university title in May 2022 and focuses on creative disciplines including art, design, craft, media, and performance. The university offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across areas such as fine art, illustration, graphic design, fashion, photography, animation, and game arts. Teaching emphasises studio-based, practice-led learning with strong industry links and professional development. Its compact, city-centre campus supports a close-knit creative community rather than a large multi-faculty research institution. Arts University Plymouth serves a relatively small student body compared with mainstream UK universities, with many learners drawn from the UK and internationally for its specialist creative reputation. It is situated in Plymouth's cultural quarter and contributes to the city's arts scene through galleries, exhibitions, and community engagement.
