All our students and staff share a passion for exploring and disseminating ideas about arts and media practice.

We stage live theatre and music performances; have our own Arts Centre and numerous research archives, and host conferences, creative writing events, and film screenings. We will shortly have a wonderful new performance and media complex, and have invested heavily in a new technological infrastructure to enable students to be at the leading edge of media and digital arts practice.

Our location in London means students have access to all the great cultural resources of the capital. They also benefit from the School’s strong connections with major arts and media organisations in London, the wider UK and overseas. Our students have gone on to work for leading employers in the arts, media, publishing and creative sectors.

We provide a stimulating and creatively dynamic environment where students can develop their full potential creatively, intellectually, and artistically; and can go on to great success in their careers.
