AFDA is revolutionising creative education with a new degree, campus, and innovative learning opportunities, preparing the next generation of creative leaders.
For more than 30 years, AFDA has remained at the forefront of creative education, continuously evolving to meet the needs of an ever-changing creative economy.
As Africa's leading school for the creative economy, AFDA has built its reputation on anticipating industry shifts, embracing new technologies and developing graduates who don't simply follow trends; they create them.
As applications for 2027 are open, AFDA enters another exciting phase of growth with the launch of the Bachelor of Fine Arts & Design (BFAD), the successful opening of the new AFDA Hatfield Campus, and the continued expansion of future-focused learning through innovative short courses such as the Vertical Micro-Drama Storytelling Short Course. Together, these initiatives reinforce AFDA's commitment to preparing graduates for careers in a rapidly evolving creative landscape.
Launching in 2027 at the Johannesburg and Cape Town campuses, the Bachelor of Fine Arts & Design (BFAD) has been developed for a new generation of artists, designers, makers and innovators who move seamlessly between traditional creative practice and emerging technologies.
