Institute of Education, Arts and Community (Domestic)

We give you creative license

The Institute of Education, Arts & Community (IEAC) is all about helping others – to learn, to laugh, to get back on their feet. You’ll graduate with the skills to educate, support or entertain – essentially, to stand in front of an audience and enrich their lives. Our discipline areas might be ancient, but the curriculum – and the way we teach it – is anything but. There’s industry experience on offer, too. Being part of IEAC means you’ll won’t just get a qualification, you’ll be ready for the spotlight.

IEAC allows you to express yourself. IEAC is your institute.
