About Durban University of Technology Faculty of Arts and Design

Overview

Welcome to Durban University of Technology’s Faculty of Arts and Design, where ideas come to life. As a contemporary faculty we are made up of intellectuals who are energised creative thinkers. Our students are encouraged to create, engage and innovative.

We have a long reputation of producing artists of both national and international stature. A significant number of our graduates are easily absorbed in the job market while the entrepreneurial and venturesome become self-employed and invariably become creators of employment for others.

The Faculty of Arts and Design excels in training students to unlock their expressive and artistic talents. Its philosophy is based on the notion that human talent and potential are unlimited.

The Faculty offers programmes that are nationally and internationally acclaimed. To assist creative students whose high school education was not orientated towards the Arts, the Faculty of Arts and Design offers an extended curriculum programme called Arts Extended.
