International opportunities

We’re all part of a global society, where studying and living in a new country can change everything – especially you and your world view. We offer opportunities to spend 1 or more terms studying outside of the UK at a partner institution, or on a work placement abroad.

Portfolio

Show off your creativity with our showcasing platform, Portfolio, and present your work alongside other UAL students from various subjects. You can create a profile from the start of your course and update your projects up until 2 years after graduation.

Portfolio allows you to show the world your work and projects, share your creative skills and interests, as well as connect and network with peers from across UAL.

Software discounts

As a UAL student you get access to a range of IT software discounts.

Most excitingly for creative students, we offer an Adobe CC deal with a subscription to the full Adobe CC suite, plus 100GB cloud storage until 13 August 2024 for just a single £41.59 payment. This is great for accessing the programmes off-site and having easy online storage of your files.

Grayson's robes

In a unique UAL tradition, Turner Prize-winning artist and UAL Chancellor Grayson Perry wears a custom-made robe for our July graduation ceremonies. Every year, we hold a contest to design the robes that he wears, open for all UAL student to enter.

You could design a brand-new look for our chancellor to swan down the aisle in at this year’s graduation!
