Kingston School of Art
Ideas emerge here.
Kingston School of Art is No. 1 in London for Art & Design and has long been recognised as one of the best creative schools in the UK across subject rankings, research, performance, industry and student awards. Top brands and institutions choose to work with us as we prepare our students to be innovative and inspirational leaders.
Disciplines merge here across our three schools spanning Design, Arts, and Creative and Cultural Industries.
The Art School Experience
Through collaborative working and critical practice, students understand both teamwork and multi-disciplinary making.
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, communications, design, humanities or the creative industries.
We are committed to development and offer students opportunities to explore, experiment and to take risks. Find your unique signature.

KSA Show 2023
The KSA Show 2023 is a celebration of our students' achievements this year.
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.
