Commitment to development
We offer students opportunities to explore, experiment and to take risks; to find their unique signature.
Our courses
We are an art school where our workshops and studios are open for creative exploration and allow opportunities for students and staff to work together and to share ideas whether they are studying or researching architecture, art, design or the creative industries.
Ideas emerge here
Kingston School of Art has long been recognised as one of the best art and design schools in teaching and research in Europe and across the world. This is shown in our subject rankings, research, performance, industry and student awards, and the leading brands and institutions whom choose to work with us.
World class facilities
The Design Museum called our studios and workshops "a world class design facility". They provide the perfect space in which to experience practice-based learning, and explore thinking through making.
On our visit to Kingston's workshops we experienced a hugely impressive and inspirational, world class design facility abuzz with creative energy and technical verve; the ideal environment to inspire and equip the next generation of designers with the design skills for the future.
