Working at UAL

The world needs creativity

University of the Arts London (UAL) is a world-leading university for teaching, knowledge exchange and research in art, design, fashion, media and communication and performing arts. We are made up of six renowned colleges: Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts, London College of Communication, London College of Fashion and Wimbledon College of Arts. 

We believe that the world needs creativity. In a volatile era, we aim to find new ways to demonstrate the value of creative disciplines in our response to major forces such as the climate emergency, decolonisation and social equality and complexity. 

Vision for UAL Online

In 2022 UAL published a 10-year strategy: the world needs creativity. Our strategy sets out our ambition to offer creative education to anyone who can benefit from it, of global quality and on a global scale. Transforming UAL in terms of the accessibility of our provision by way of cost, design and mode, will require us to develop a sophisticated and scalable approach to online education. UAL is prepared to make substantial investment in our operations and strategic partnerships to deliver these goals.
