“By creating we think, by living we learn” Patrick Geddes
If you are interested in Art & Design or Architecture and want to know more about studying these subjects at University, then ACES is a project that can help you. We provide advice and encouragement to school pupils in S4-S6 who want to learn about art and design careers and courses. ACES is a national project involving the four major art schools in Scotland. It is co-ordinated in Tayside by the University of Dundee. [more...]
ACES can provide you with an insight into studying Art & Design or Architecture at University and also into the careers that these degrees can lead into. We offer support with the application process including advice and activities for building your portfolio. Our programme of activities includes on-campus practical tasters of Art & Design and Architecture disciplines, school-based workshops, online learning activities and one-to-one advice and information.

ACES works with 17 target schools in Dundee, Angus and Perth & Kinross (list on the right). If you are not a pupil at one of these schools don't worry as you may still be eligible to take part depending on your home postcode.

The project helps young people who have an interest in studying Art & Design or Architecture at University to explore their options and then supports them through the application process and beyond.
The project seeks to widen participation in Higher Education, which means it aims to encourage applications from young people who may: be the first in their family to go to University; be in receipt of EMA or from a low-income background; have spent time as a Looked After Child or Looked After and Accommodated Child; have experienced adverse circumstances.
Events and activities offered by the ACES project include:
