From their first day at Dartington College of Arts every student is treated as an equal – as an artist in their own right – becoming a member of an artistic and academic community, completely dedicated to the making and presenting of new work.

Dartington College of Arts is located within the Dartington Hall Estate, two miles from Totnes in Devon. Meadows, woods and farmland are bounded on one side by the River Dart and at the heart of the estate is a 30-acre garden. There is a year-round programme of arts events, some in the College’s own Gallery, studios and performance spaces and some in Dartington Great Hall and the Barn Cinema.

The College has some 630 students, including a large post-graduate element, and 90 staff, together with an extensive network of internationally-established practitioner-teacher-scholars. The College is also host to a constant stream of visiting academics and professional artists.

What's on Offer
We have five main fields of artistic discipline: Art, Choreography, Music, Theatre and Writing. Our integrated approach to learning, teaching, research and enterprise requires students to address constantly what it is to be a working, thinking artist making art and performance in the 21st century. Dartington degrees are known throughout the world and Dartington students go on to pursue successful careers as performers, composers, musicians, artists, theatre-makers, choreographers, curators, film makers, arts managers, writers and teachers.
