Field trips
Our lecturers regularly hold classes in the on-campus Lakeside Arts Djanogly Art Gallery, as well as making the most of a wide range of local museums, galleries, churches, and impressive stately homes in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire.

- Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham
- Mead Art Gallery, Warwick
- John Rylands Library, Manchester
- Whitechapel Art Gallery, London
- Estorick Collection, London
- V&A, London
- British Library, London
- The National Gallery, London
- Royal Academy of Arts, London
- Barbican, London
- Tate Britain, London
- Tate Contemporary, London
Funding
Field trips that complement modules are optional.
We can often cover or subsidise any transport and accommodation fr these trips although there may be cases where students are asked to make a contribution. For example in 2022 we took students to London and covered the cost of transport from Nottingham to London and hostel accommodation.
Many valuable permanent collections in galleries are free to visit. We might also suggest vistits to temporary exhibitions. The maximum entrance fee is usually about £15. Again, students may be asked to cover this or make a contribution.
