4 arts.ac.uk/studyabroad 5 Study in London Creative city

London is a truly global city: it is home to over eight million people from around the world speaking more than 300 languages. 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. LCC’s teachers make it their mission to meet the real needs of the communication, media and design industries. For LCC, getting ahead means getting immersed – students are often commissioned to work on live briefs for major companies such as Nike (graphic design for clothing), Hostelworld and Nokia. The College is also proud to house a selection of famous archives and special collections, including those of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick.

Chelsea College of Arts Chelsea is a celebration of the British art school tradition; a warm, expansive, artist- centred community. The College is home to a world-renowned art and design library and cutting-edge facilities. These include a digital print studio, an audiovisual editing studio, specialist equipment for textile design (knitting and sewing machines, looms, digital and screen printing workshops, and print and dye facilities), a foundry and 3D workshops in casting, ceramics, metalwork, and woodwork. Chelsea is also home to London’s largest open-air gallery which hosts all sorts of events, from film screenings to large- scale installations, and international artists exhibiting alongside current students. Chelsea’s students enjoy views over the river Thames, and a special relationship with their next-door neighbour, Tate Britain, the UK’s national gallery of British art from 1500 to the present day. Chelsea is home to 1,400 students, and it has a long and distinguished history going back more than a hundred years.

10 arts.ac.uk/studyabroad 11 Wimbledon College of Arts The warm, close-knit community spirit of Wimbledon – our smallest College with around 800 students – is integral to its success in producing outstanding graduates of fine art, theatre and screen design. An easy 15 minutes by rail from the centre of London, its well-equipped studios, workshops and exhibition spaces are surrounded by leafy open spaces. Wimbledon’s range of specialist facilities include metal, wood, print, dye, costume, and technical arts and special effects workshops, as well as an animation suite, darkrooms, a sound studio, a film and video studio, and green screen facilities. In 2015 work was completed on an award-winning sustainable studio space, and Wimbledon’s theatre is equipped to industry standards. Students comment that the College is far enough away from central London to have space in which to think and work, but close enough to be able to access the city’s rich cultural life.

London College of Fashion London College of Fashion’s rich heritage, and responsiveness to changes in design practice, have positioned it as a leading global provider of fashion education. Known worldwide as a centre of excellence and the proving ground of big names like Jimmy Choo, Paul Austin and Linda Bennett, the UK’s only specialist fashion college works closely with its industry partners to prepare students for a successful career in fashion. LCF’s 5,000 students study at six campuses across London, from Shoreditch to Oxford Circus, and follow a range of programmes in fashion design, marketing, merchandising or fashion management. Footwear and accessories students study at the renowned Cordwainers College, also part of LCF. The College has offered its unique bespoke Study Abroad programmes for more than 25 years and has welcomed students from over 70 countries.
