At Leith School of Art, the academic year is made up of three terms.

The School holds an end of year exhibition at which the work of all the Year-long and Short Courses is shown. Student work is on sale, with 20% of the proceeds donated to our Bursary Scheme. All students are warmly invited to attend the exhibitions with friends, families and the general public.
