School of Creative Industries
Welcome to ATU’s our School of Creative Industries. Students learn through hands‑on creative projects, gaining the skills to imagine, design, and produce work that shapes culture and community.
At Atlantic Technological University (ATU), our Creative Industries courses support students who want to develop their artistic, design, and media skills.
Learning takes place in studios, workshops, and digital labs where students explore ideas, build portfolios, and work on projects inspired by real creative practice.
Our students learn from staff with strong experience across the creative and cultural sectors, from design and media production to creative education and the arts. Many courses also include opportunities to work with industry and community partners, helping students gain confidence, make connections, and prepare for a wide range of creative careers.
We offer creative courses from undergraduate to postgraduate level, along with flexible online options for learners who want to upskill or deepen their practice.
