Because the world needs: new solutions

Our six unique Colleges form one University, ranked number two in the world for Art and Design.* As a postgraduate student at UAL, you’ll become part of a powerful creative network of artists, designers and innovators – each with their own ideas about how to make a difference. *QS World University Rankings by Subject ® 2020

From helping local communities to tackling

the global climate crisis, creative thinkers have

a unique power to come up with innovative

solutions to the world’s problems. Across all

subject areas, UAL staff and students are using

the potential of art, design and the creative

industries to help shape a better future.

As part of our commitment to addressing

the global climate emergency, we’ve pledged

to cut the University’s carbon emissions by

43% between 2013 and 2020. Significant

progress came in 2018, when UAL switched

all of its electricity consumption to 100%

renewable sources.

Students also have their role to play. From creating

inspirational fashion using sustainable materials

to leading projects which encourage eco-friendly

lifestyle choices, they are helping to build a more

sustainable community.

WaterAid Hackathon: The Water Fight

In partnership with the UK charity WaterAid,

UAL’s Post-Grad Community and students

from the MA Design Management course at

London College of Communication produced

an intensive two-day Hackathon.

Bringing together students from across the

University, the event explored how the arts can

be used as a tool in the mission to make clean

water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal

for everyone.

“The event was a fantastic opportunity

to collaborate with people from other

courses! We were able to consider the

issue from multiple different angles,

and it was great to work on a project

that we all felt very passionate about.”

Mathilda Della Torre MA Graphic Communication Design Central Saint Martins

Pushing boundaries

Our research moves beyond traditional

contexts in Art and Design, into new areas

such as creative computing, service and social

design in the health sector, and internationally

funded projects that drive business and

government policy change on a large scale.

Similarly, our academics play a prominent

role in the UK’s creative culture, with research

that enhances public understanding of

major issues and benefits the creative and

cultural industries.

UAL’s cutting-edge research is leading the

way in discovering new solutions and ideas to

help solve global issues. Our nine Research

Centres work to support groups of researchers

across a range of activities and projects.

Our institutes are a place where research,

knowledge exchange and teaching come

together. They focus on using research

insights to open and encourage conversations

that change how practitioners, organisations,

institutions and government bodies operate

and develop. By generating innovative new

approaches, UAL’s institutes encourage

social, environmental, technological and

cultural change.

Because the world needs:to share ideas

UAL is home to over 2,400 creative postgraduate students, offering all kinds of opportunities for collaboration. PhD student Laetitia Forst talks about how getting involved with UAL’s Centre for Circular Design and Post-Grad Community has helped her build a strong network to develop her area of research.

“I started a PhD because I was passionate

about design for sustainability and I wanted to

explore how my textile design practice could

contribute solutions to current environmental

issues. Coming to UAL meant that I could be

part of the Centre for Circular Design, which

was already doing pioneering work in this field.

I expected the PhD journey to be rather

lonely, but in fact I’ve become part of a

vibrant community of researchers and

students. The networks created by UAL’s

Post-Grad Community have really helped.

With their support I’ve worked on a number

of collaborative projects that have been

very rewarding.

I’ve co-run the Circular Design Lab interest

group and There and Back Again symposium

for the last few years, putting together events

and workshops to make our research available

to a wider audience. It’s helped me develop a

community to discuss research ideas and it’s

been a great experience.

At the moment I’m working on my thesis,

so my days involve lots of writing! But it used

to be more varied. A day would generally

involve reading and taking notes on academic

papers, visually mapping the insights to feed

into my research, making samples to test my

ideas or working on a paper or presentation for

a conference.

To get the most out of your postgraduate

experience, make sure you find out about all

of the opportunities available to you. There are

so many training, exhibiting and connecting

events across UAL to benefit from on top of

course work. There are also funding options

to provide support if you have an idea for an

extracurricular project. Get in touch with the

Student Union or look up the UAL Post-Grad

Community Project Fund.”

My London storyAnna Tsuda

Anna applied to the MSc Creative

Computing course while in the final year of

her undergraduate degree at Camberwell

College of Arts, where she studied Graphic

Design. Originally from Japan, she has

been overwhelmed by the range of

possibilities and creative opportunities

that London has opened up.

“Coming from a small city in Japan, I used to

have to take the bullet train to Tokyo so I could

attend art, design and tech events, so it’s a

privilege to now have so many opportunities

on my doorstep in London. Going to events

outside of university has helped me to explore

new realms, network with interesting people

and expand my design practice.

I’m still absolutely amazed by the number of

events, meetups and exhibitions constantly

happening in the city. At the beginning of the

year, I got really excited and signed myself

up to a load of extracurricular activities, soon

realising that I had a bit too much on my plate!

I’ve cut down on my commitments now and

I’m focusing on my studies and two part-

time jobs. I feel a lot less overwhelmed! Just

remember to always do what feels right for you

and enjoy every moment.”

Shape your career

Postgraduate study at UAL gives you

the chance to explore new creative

directions and expand your knowledge

through experimentation and discovery.

The experience will open up a world of

opportunities to help you shape your career

or take you down a different path entirely.

Working and studying

Working part-time could help you cover your

living costs and tuition fees, and we have

a number of ways to support you in your

job search. Creative Opportunities is UAL’s

industry jobs and work placement website,

which advertises jobs and paid internships.

Arts Temps provides exciting job opportunities

to UAL students and alumni, offering paid

temporary jobs across UAL, and will soon

be offering roles with external organisations.

Working for Arts Temps gives students

excellent work experience and hands-on

creative opportunities to build their skills

and CV.

There are limits to the number of hours

international students can work on a study visa,

so you should always check the rules before you

take on a part-time job.

Our alumni network

Armed with a postgraduate qualification from

UAL, you could follow the path of one of our

200,000 alumni to become a pioneer in your

field. Our graduates can be found in every

part of the creative and cultural sectors,

from leading global businesses to working

as self-employed practitioners. They are

celebrated with awards ranging from the

Turner Prize to the Oscars.

Benefits of being part of our Alumni Association

include discounts on fees for postgraduate

and short courses, access to UAL libraries and

exclusive alumni events, the opportunity to

join your local alumni group and invitations to

Careers and Employability workshops.

Start your own business

Many of our postgraduate students choose

to set up their own business, studio or

company after they graduate. We provide a

range of free resources to help our students

achieve their goals, including information about

the practicalities of freelancing; funding and

finance; how to showcase and sell work;

self-promotion; marketing and more.

Students can also pitch for funding to help

start their business.

We also have our very own retail space,

not just a shop. Students and alumni from

across UAL can submit their work to be

considered for sale via open calls. Proceeds

from sales are reinvested into supporting the

next generation of creative students through

UAL’s enterprise learning programme.

My career journeyYoav Segal

Yoav began his Masters degree so he

could refocus his career path and pursue

his ambition of becoming a theatre

designer. At UAL he discovered an artists’

community that felt like home and a course

that has given him the technical skills and

conceptual approach he needs to build his

future success.

“Since I was a kid I’ve adored theatre: the

gripping storytelling, the magic in the air, the

flare and ingenuity of its design. I’ve worked

a lot in the industry since, but I lacked the

precise skills to actually become a designer.

I needed to delve into the technical and

practical aspects of it.

My course has been fantastically hands-on.

My first project has been a whirlwind guide to

all aspects of theatre design, from rigorously

researching a text to learning the fineries of

costume drawing. I’m only halfway through,

but it’s already built my confidence and belief

that I’ll be able to forge a career as a designer.

UAL has so many campuses, lectures,

workshops, technical departments and

experts. Consume as much as possible,

because in the ‘real’ world lots of the skills you

can learn and connections you can make are

hard to come by.”
