Creative Industries
Our Creative Industries faculty offers a variety of courses which help prepare students to stand out from the crowd in their chosen fields, be it art and design, computing & tech media, music and sound production, performing arts & photography.
From budding artists and filmmakers to up-and-coming performers and software engineers, students showcase their talents across a variety of events across the year culminating in a two-month city-wide creative festival – Glow.
Creative Industries is the home of our PASS (Performing Arts Studio Scotland) Theatre as well as creative centres - The Music Box and CRE:8. Students have access to these state-of-the-art facilities throughout their studies, providing an environment to encourage their creativity and allow their talent to flourish.
We have excellent industry links with our partners delivering workshops, being panel members at our annual creative & tech futures day, offering work-experience, internships and actively recruiting our students.

What our students say...
I initially did a night class at Edinburgh College in Studio Photography and I was so impressed with the facilities and standard of teaching. The best thing about learning at Edinburgh College has been the lecturers with their passion for what they do and the support they offer, as well as all the facilities and the like-minded students I have been lucky to go through this journey with – we all support each other.Jennifer - Photography
I originally came to PASS hearing good things about the acting courses and then, over the years, moved to the dance courses feeling that I was better suited for them. I’ve had an incredible five years at PASS. It’s been hard work and I’ve had really hard times but if you’re willing to do the work it can be an amazing experience.Nichole - Performing Arts
Edinburgh College seemed to be a perfect pathway to nourish my development and forge new connections within the Art and Design community.Katherine - Art and Design
