Faculty Of Arts (University Of Brighton)
The Faculty of Arts in the University of Brighton is a centre of education in the creative arts, architecture, design and humanities. In 2009 it took its new name, replacing the former Faculty of Arts & Architecture, embracing new subject areas from departments in Literature, Languages and Media.
Subject areas offer study in arts, design and humanities, from short courses, undergraduate level, taught postgraduate and research degrees, MPhil and PhD. Located in the centre of Brighton, the Faculty provides a unique environment in which to study. The Faculty’s Centre for Research and Development (CRD) supports research of international significance and resulted in sixty-five per cent of research in art and design being classified as either 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent'in the Research Assessment Exercise RAE2008. This built on the grade 5 in the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2001).
It is also home to significant design and screen archives and hosts the Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Art Design & Media (ADM HEA). In 2005 it was also recognised as a Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning through Design (CETLD), bringing together the knowledge and expertise of the University of Brighton's The Faculty of Arts & Architecture; The Royal Institute of British Architects; the Royal College of Art and The Victoria & Albert Museum.

Famous quotes containing the words faculty and/or arts:
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Musick is certainly a very agreeable Entertainment, but if it would take the entire Possession of our Ears, if it would make us incapable of hearing Sense, if it would exclude Arts that have a much greater Tendency to the Refinement of human Nature; I must confess I would allow it no better Quarter than Plato has done, who banishes it out of his Common-wealth.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
