Creating a safe and welcoming environment

We are proud of our diverse student communities, and we are committed to ensuring UAL is an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.

Lots of people find that art school is a place where they finally fit in... it’s kind of a hub for people who might not have fit in, in other places.

UAL is the foundation of a multicultural place...you've got everyone from everywhere, all different in their own way and with their own stories.

Finding purpose

Climate Emergency Network

The Climate Emergency Network is non-hierarchical, distributed, and continuously evolving. It's a platform for channelling creativity into climate action across our Colleges, research centres, and institutes. Our community includes undergraduate students, professors, support staff, alumni, and friends.

Our purpose is to foster an internal movement for change, providing opportunities for everyone to engage in climate action. We host monthly Climate Cafés, seasonal Climate Circles, and develop responsive campaigns, actions, and activities to showcase that the arts can, and must, respond to the climate and ecological emergency.

Contact us: climatenetwork@arts.ac.uk.
