The Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA) is committed to fostering creative and professional excellence in art and design education. The Faculty is home to approximately 1 200 students who study and work in the custom-built FADA Building on the Bunting Road Campus. Conveniently situated in the building are a number of specialised workshops, studios, computer laboratories, common lecture venues, an auditorium, a gallery and a library. Many of our graduates are employed in South Africa or internationally in diverse areas of industry, or work as freelance designers, architectural technologists or independent artists. Whatever their preference, they have been thoroughly prepared as professionals through creative and entrepreneurial development, which are key elements in the programmes offered. The Faculty works closely with industry to ensure that its programmes remain relevant and to keep students constantly exposed to changes occurring in the practising worlds of art and design. In the course of the year, recognised national and international artists, designers and academics are invited to address students. The FADA Gallery hosts a series of cutting-edge exhibitions throughout the year and the annual student exhibitions showcase the best student work for public viewing. The Faculty offers various three year diploma and degree programmes. Bachelor of Technology (BTech) and honours degrees, involving one additional year of full-time study after the diploma or degree, are also offered. Placement in the programmes is limited, and there are additional requirements such as entrance assessments and prescribed portfolios. Prospective students are therefore encouraged to apply as early as possible.
