Welcome to the School of Creative, Visual and Performing Arts (CVP)
We offer full-time courses in Art and Design, Creative Media Production and Technology, Production Arts, and Performing Arts, where you can specialise in Dance, Music or Acting. You will learn in a creative, industry-focused environment, using cutting-edge equipment within our purpose-built specialist facilities, including Nidum Arts Centre at Neath College and Theatr Hafren at Newtown College.
As a centre for creative learning, you can choose the A Level route to explore a range of subjects, or specialise in a full-time vocational course. We support progression at every stage, with opportunities to move on to our Higher National Diploma in Music at the NPTC Group of Colleges Music Academy, or the Foundation Art and Design programme at Newtown and Afan Colleges. Our team provides extensive one-to-one support for university and conservatoire applications, ensuring you are fully prepared and audition-ready. Above all, we focus on developing confident, highly employable creatives who are ready for their careers.
Art, Design, Photography and Creative Media students benefit from a wide range of opportunities to exhibit their work, both within the college and at external events. Take a look at our PROCESS Exhibition below. Creative Media students also work on live projects, collaborating with clients and showcasing their final productions. For Performing Arts, Dance and Music students, performance is central to the experience, with a wide range of opportunities to develop and showcase your talent.
The School of CVP also offers a vibrant enrichment programme, including College Choir, Funk Band, LIFT Dance Company, Camera Club and weekly life-drawing classes. Our team of specialist lecturers look forward to welcoming you.
