Pathways are made up of courses focused on future careers or further education opportunities
Our creative courses allow flexibility for learners to develop their individuality and confidence, providing a comprehensive grounding in art & design disciplines.
Our students are taught by highly qualified tutors, many of whom are practising artists.
Applicants that are 19+ please scroll down and click on the appropriate programme including higher education, and short and part-time courses.
As a student of Canterbury School of Visual Arts at Canterbury College, you will be able to hone your talents into skills that allow you to progress into the world of art.
The desired progression for many of our courses is for students to study at Art Schools and Higher Education.
We recognise that many of our students will also go on to become freelance artists, and therefore we provide a 'Work Ready' club where you will be taught vital networking and business skills that will prepare you for freelancing careers.
However, many of our alumni have progressed into organisations in a variety of job roles, such as:
Canterbury Festival
CSVA students work closely with local arts organisation, Canterbury Festival on large-scale projects that are on display all over Kent.
Canterbury BID
The Canterbury BID works closely with the Art & Design department on real-life projects that enhance the community in the City of Canterbury. From designing signage to floor stickers, our students have benefitted from these community projects by developing their artistic and project skills.
Rock, Paper, Scissors
Canterbury-based lifestyle store and gallery space that showcases artisan makers provides our students endless opportunities to get experience in managing an art shop, merchandising, and curating collections.
Our onsite facilities are available for all students to develop their skills. All of our studios are industry standards.
