British Academy of Jewellery

British Academy of Jewellery is a leading specialist training provider for the Jewellery sector and a hub of learning, ideas and creativity for the UK jewellery industry. Founded in 1999 by a local Hatton Garden family-run business, we understand the needs of the industry because we are part of the industry. As a not-for-profit social enterprise, we work with industry, government and education partners to foster a network of support to help drive the growth of the UK jewellery industry. Responding to trade's need for skills craftsmen, we developed innovative jewellery programmes and apprenticeships designed to nurture technical savoir-faire as well as creative ability. Our focus is to create the next generation of jewellers who posses the aptitude and ingenuity to carry the torch and shape the future of the jewellery industry. Sticking firm to our roots, our London campuses are scattered across Hatton Garden, keeping close ties with the local trade. The vibrant area has many delights to be explored including Leather Lane and Exmouth Market, as well being within walking distance from several major transport links. We have now opened another campus in Birmingham's lively city, taking residence in the historic Assay Office where we offer diploma programmes, short courses and apprenticeships. As we expand, we continue to work with other academics institutions from around the world to promote international collaboration, boost creativity and help us become an international centre of excellence for all things jewellery. Jewellery business is our business. New course: BA (Hons) in Jewellery Design and Production.
