Callum's decision to study at ECA was down to the fantastic reputation of the course and the beauty of the City of Edinburgh.

Drawing and Painting graduate John Mitchell's time at ECA allowed him the space to explore and evolve his practice without worrying about what was to come next. A Summer at Yale University lead John to question his practice, eventually moving away from painting and focussing on other mediums.

Since graduating, John taught at Reading University and has exhibited his work nationally and internationally.

After graduating in 2007, Helga returned to Iceland where she has been making and exhibiting her work.

After graduation, Intermedia alumna Ciorstaidh Monk co-founded a Scottish sleepwear brand with a focus on minimalist design, comfort and modern luxury.

Studying Intermedia - BA (Hons) at ECA equipped Elinor with the skillset to pursue a career in the arts industry amidst a global pandemic.

Studying Architecture MA (Hons) made Sonakshi aware of the social responsibility that architects and designers hold, as well as the transformative potential of architectural and urban interventions.

Working at the intersection between art and science is renowned artist, Katie Paterson, who found the programme's lack of boundaries allowed her to develop a cross-disciplinary approach.

Studying Illustration at ECA equipped Kate with the tools necessary to process deeper personal feelings and experiences through art while also building a repertoire of design skills.

At ECA, Sutthipa developed her skills in silkscreen, digital printing, embroidery, and drawing. Her degree show design project won 1st place in Academic Excellence in Textiles for best use of colour from the Worshipful Company of Dyers.

Hannah was initially attracted to ECA because of the variety of musical opportunities and topics to study. Enrolled on the BMus Music course, Hannah found her niche during the Music in the Community module which influenced her thesis on Makaton choir as well as further studies. After developing her musical practice and theory at ECA, Hannah went on to study Music Therapy at Queen Margaret University here in Edinburgh. Now qualified, Hannah works in a mixture of settings in the community such as schools, hospitals and charities. Hannah even plans to start her own Makaton choir very soon.
