Celebrate Your Achievement

Graduation

NDA Graduation Days

Graduation day is truly a wonderful way to celebrate with friends, family and fellow students and allows you a chance to proudly reflect upon your amazing achievement.

When you have successfully completed your NDA degree you and your guests will be invited to attend an amazing graduation ceremony, hosted by our academic partners, De Montfort University (DMU), held in the theatre setting of their campus in Leicester, in July and January each year.

You will also be invited to a private NDA reception and prize giving beforehand.

What is UK Government Funding?

UK students pay approximately 50% of the full course fee – the balance is funded by the UK Government’s Adult education budget (AEB).

The National Design Academy is the only design school to be able to offer this funding as our Diplomas are all fully accredited by AIM Qualifications.
