Location

Our London location is the perfect base to explore the capital’s rich history and culture, including world-renowned art galleries, museums and theatres. We’re close to many of the world’s most influential brands, offering our students unparalleled networking and job opportunities.

Teaching

Our teaching is designed with industry partners, with placements and work experience to give you a head start in the working world. Our lecturers know their subjects like the back of their hands because they’ve more than likely lived it.

Employability

Our career-focused courses are supplemented by mentoring and internship opportunities. Before and after graduating, you’ll be benefitted by our Employability Service, which can support you in finding a job and mastering your interview techniques.

Facilities

From state-of-the-art virtual engineering labs to our multi-million pound media facility, Elephant Studios, our facilities are extensive, cutting edge and highly specialist. ZONES, our learning environment transformation programme, continues this legacy, with over £65 million being invested into our London campus.

Community

Here, you’ll join a talented community of like-minded students. Our Students’ Union has over 50 sports clubs and societies, all with unique interests and a diverse range of activities.
