Study art

As a Kingston School of Art student, you will be encouraged to experiment, take risks and develop your own signature style. You will join an art school with a renowned reputation; we are ranked No. 7 in the UK for design and crafts, which covers creative and cultural industries, graphic design, interior design, illustration, animation and product and furniture design, and no.2 and top in London for fashion and textiles (Guardian University Guide league tables 2022).

Our academic staff are successful artists and designers, complementing your studies with a broad mix of experience and enabling you to gain an insight into life as a working practitioner. Our strong links with the art world and creative industries mean you will get to test your designs with real companies, respond to live briefs and attend guest lectures from renowned artists, designers, and practitioners.

The practical emphasis of our courses, the presence, on-site, of the Stanley Picker Gallery, and the open access to Kingston School of Art's brand new, high quality, inspiring, workshops allow you the freedom to develop your practice in a creative, vibrant environment.

Our graduates have gone on to work in museums, galleries, and cultural organisations around the world; many have even gone into working freelance or starting their own business.
