Showreel

A montage of recent work by Illustration and Animation students at ARU.

At Cambridge School of Art and Cambridge School of Creative Industries, innovation and collaboration meet imagination and experimentation to create unique ideas and opportunities. We’ve been inspiring creativity and empowering creators to become change makers since 1858.

We’ll help you maximise your creative potential. With access to our full range of industry standard facilities, not just those for your course, you’ll be able to experiment with a range of media to develop your own visual style.

Our industry-connected, practising staff will take an interest in your development and goals whilst opportunities to exhibit and collaborate will help you make important connections.

You’ll be able to take part in real-life briefs, internships and work experience or even opt for a placement year helping you to stand out from the crowd when you graduate.

“My tutors are very helpful and encouraging. After a few weeks of study, I can clearly see my own progress and achievements.”
