Student Accommodation University of the Arts London

The university draws together six renowned colleges – Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts, the London College of Communication, the London College of Fashion and Wimbledon College of Arts – each with its own world-class reputation.

UAL has more than 100 cutting-edge programmes and courses in arts and design which are overseen by teaching staff made up of professional artists, practitioners, designers, critics and theorists.

Courses range from Fashion Media and Fine Art right through to 3D animation, Graphic Design and Drama. These are delivered from state-of-the-art facilities including workshops with letterpress machinery, studio theatres, gallery space as well as libraries and archives for research into hundreds of years of the greatest artists and designers.

The university originates from the formation of the London Institute in 1986 and was incorporated as a higher education body in 1991, with academic degree awarding powers being granted in 1993. A coat of arms was granted to the London Institute in 1998, with Lord Stevenson being appointed its very first chancellor in 2000. Three years later, the London Institute received Privy Council approval for university status and was renamed University of the Arts London in 2004.

Wimbledon School of Art joined the university as a sixth college in 2006, and was renamed Wimbledon College of Art.
