Academies
Academies offer you the opportunity to pursue your performance, public service, technology, sporting or media aspirations alongside academic or vocational qualifications, and are a great way to complement your studies.
Whether you’re interested in dance, technology, music, unformed protective services or any other field, our Academies have it all covered. We offer a wide range of exciting courses and workshops that cater to various interests and skill levels, allowing you to explore your passions and develop your skills.
Please note: academies are held across campuses, you will need to double check where they are operating at your Freshers’ Fair or by talking to your tutor.
If you are a current student or have applied to start with us next September, you can sign up to academies now on our sign up page.

Student Digital Ambassador Academy
Knowing your strengths and being able to articulate them is key to giving the right impression of your capabilities for your next steps. Employers have expressed that candidates often don't know how to articulate the digital skills they possess, so we designed the SDA programme to enable evidencing of awareness/attainment through certificates and digital badges.
