How to donate to UAL

Every gift helps support the next generation of creative leaders, innovators and thinkers. Your generosity helps talented students overcome financial barriers, access life-changing opportunities, and thrive during their time at UAL.

Investing in UAL today is an investment in a more creative future. Discover below what your gift can support and the different ways you can give.

Support the London College of Communication appeal

In September 2027, London College of Communication (LCC) will open a purpose‑built campus designed for the future. Your gift will give future LCC generations the chance to learn, make and inspire.

    Support the students who will soon call the new LCC building home.

Invest in the next creative generation

Higher education is very different from when many of us were students. Today’s students face tuition fees, student loans, the loss of maintenance grants and rising costs of living.

Donor-funded Scholarships and Bursaries play a vital role in making this possible, ensuring that talent — not circumstance — defines opportunity. Meanwhile the University Hardship Fund helps current students cover essential living costs as well as access the equipment they need to complete their studies and fulfil their potential.

If you would like to take your gift a step further in helping today's students fulfil their potential, please contact giving@arts.ac.uk.

Legacy giving

Leaving a gift in your will, however big or small, will help UAL shape the next generation of creatives.

You can direct your gift to a particular area of interest or leave it unrestricted, allowing the University to allocate it where the need is greatest.

Guidance for leaving a legacy gift

There are several ways to leave a gift in your Will. We recommend seeking professional legal advice to ensure that any legacy gift reflects your personal circumstances and wishes accurately.

For more information about legacy or in memory giving, please email l.weijers@arts.ac.uk.
