Our history dates back to 1845 when the Norwich School of Design was established to provide good designers for local industries. Its founders were the artists and followers of the 'Norwich School of Painters', the only provincial British group to establish an international reputation for landscape painting. We have offered degree-level provision since 1965, when it was approved to offer the Diploma in Art and Design, validated by the National Council for Diplomas in Art and Design (NCDAD). After 1965 the School of Art made its own mark on the national art and design scene when twin strengths in Painting and Graphic Design emerged under a group of exceptional practitioners and teachers. From 1975, after NCDAD's merger with the Council for National Academic Awards (CNAA), the School offered its first BA Honours degree courses in Fine Art and Graphic Design, validated by CNAA. In 1989 the School merged with Great Yarmouth College of Art to form the Norfolk Institute of Art and Design (NIAD). In 1991 NIAD become an Associate College of the new Anglia Polytechnic with the polytechnic assuming validation responsibilities from CNAA from September 1992. This agreement extended to postgraduate provision, with the first MA course being introduced in 1993 (MA Fine Art) and the first research degree student being registered in 1995. In 1994 NIAD was incorporated as a Higher Education Institution (HEI), re-named as Norwich School of Art and Design and re-launched with a new corporate identity. In November 2007 the School was granted the power to award its own degrees up to Masters level and was re-named Norwich University College of the Arts. Today it continues to thrive as an established Higher Education Institution, with a national reputation for excellence and a strong ethos as a creative academic community.
