The city is made up of vibrant boroughs and neighbourhoods, each with its own unique features and communities. In London, world- renowned landmarks and department stores are often only around the corner from quirky markets, small boutiques, designers’ studios, the latest restaurants and bars, theatres, and thriving arts and performance spaces. London is also a cultural capital and a world centre for the creative industries. It is where digital and media start-ups thrive, and where internationally renowned museums and galleries (many of which are free) sit alongside independent cultural centres and small artist-run exhibition spaces that feature emerging talent. London’s rich annual cultural calendar includes an array of prominent events, such as London Fashion Week, Frieze Art Fair, LIFT Theatre Festival, London Festival of Architecture and London Design Festival, to name but a few. As a major transport hub, with its five airports, sixteen railway termini and high speed international connections, London is the perfect base from which to explore the rest of the UK and many of Europe’s finest cities and regions. All six UAL Colleges are at the heart of their local neighbourhoods, so you will be perfectly placed to enjoy these dynamic communities and all that London has to offer. 6 arts.ac.uk/studyabroad 7 Our Colleges Camberwell College of Arts What makes Camberwell so special? For over a century, this small College (1,600 students) with a big reputation has been at the heart of a bohemian community that encourages inventiveness, collaboration and curiosity. Camberwell has just undergone a major refurbishment, with new facilities including on-site luxury accommodation and a student-led exhibition space. The College sits beside the South London Gallery in one of the city’s most vibrant, urban boroughs – a lively, friendly place brimming with artists’ studios. Come to Camberwell and you will notice a strong set of values – of equality and fairness, of respect and tolerance, and a real sense of place and connection with the world around us. The College has an extensive range of professional workshops and facilities, including a Digital Media Centre, one of the largest printmaking centres in the UK, open access ceramic, wood, metal and plastic workshops, and various specialist darkrooms, processing rooms and photographic studios. Central Saint Martins Generations of internationally renowned artists, designers and performers – individuals whose work has defined or transformed our times – began their creative journeys at Central Saint Martins (CSM). After 150 years, CSM now has an award-winning home in a vast refurbished Victorian granary at the heart of London’s developing cultural quarter of King’s Cross, with further classrooms and studios close by in Archway. The College’s workspaces are the backbone of its courses, providing a place for students to make and create. These include workshops for casting, ceramics, digital printing, fashion, jewellery, knitting, letterpress, metal, painting, photography, post-production, weaving and woodwork, amongst other resources. With nearly 5,000 students, CSM has a palpable creative energy, which drives its close working relationships with the creative industries. Its shows, exhibitions, events, publications and research outputs make it a major force. The College best suits independent, risk-taking students who embrace the freedom of self-direction. 8 arts.ac.uk/studyabroad 9 London College of Communication London College of Communication (LCC) works at the cutting edge of new thinking so its students are ready to launch their careers and define the future of the creative industries. Located in a busy part of London, LCC lists the London Eye, the Southbank film, art and theatre complex, and Shakespeare’s Globe amongst its near neighbours. Its 5,000 students take full advantage of the outstanding facilities of this unique institution, which include photographic and TV studios, darkrooms, interactive media and animation suites, broadcast and print newsrooms as well as specialist printing, printmaking and letterpress workshops.
