General Introduction to the School

The most northerly art school in Britain, Gray’s purpose built facilities are set in beautiful parkland on the River Dee, a short distance from Aberdeen city centre. The School has its own gallery and regularly hosts international conferences and exhibitions. Students are provided with their own dedicated workspace in the School’s studios and workshops, and have access to excellent technical facilities. The School is noted for its use of the latest technology - a recent degree show of honours students’ work could be viewed on the Internet or via a video link up to Aberdeen and London.

All the School’s tutors are active successful practitioners - a reason perhaps for the students’ high success rates in major competition. Though noted for its strong links with the local and regional communities, Gray’s has a high national and international profile. The Guests at Gray’s programme attracts many eminent artists and designers to lecture at the School, study trips are arranged for students to major international art centres in Europe and the USA, and the School has numerous student exchange links with European Colleges.

An important aspect of the School is its close liaison with industrial and professional partners. All Honours degree programmes have a professional/industrial advisory group to make sure students graduate with a high level of professionalism and the relevant skills. Gray’s also has a unique cross-faculty Design for Industry course, which aims to meet the demands of designers working in the manufacturing industry.
