Leeds Arts University

The only specialist arts university in the North of England

Leeds Arts University is the only specialist arts university in the North of England, making a demonstrable contribution to the regional economy whilst having a global reputation. We have been delivering education in creative subjects since our foundation as the Leeds School of Art in 1846.

Our teaching and research have been honed within the creative arts. It is this history and ambition that drives us to contribute even further to this environment, and to wider society.
