Founded in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the six colleges that make up the University: Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts, London College of Communication, London College of Fashion, and Wimbledon College of Arts, have international reputations in a range of creative fields.
UAL is located in the centre of London meaning it's a great place to be based if you want to see as many exhibitions as possible. I like the fact that even within the uni there's always lots of art events going on. The library is amazing and the wealth of resources we have is great to do all my research for projects. However , I find the fact that it is solely an art uni means it's in some ways narrow minded and I expected more of a uni feeling than I got. Everyone's vocation is art so there isn't much want for the same amount of clubs and societies that other unis have to offer. I think that if your vocation is art as well, then it is a haven of like-minded people but if you have other passions, this might not be the best place for you.
The course is really engaging and the tutors are really hard working. There is a wide variety of facilities and diverse access to these workshops.
