Employers and partners
UAL is home to a diverse body of 18,000 students from 130 countries. The University is made up of 6 Colleges, each with its own world-class reputation.
Careers and Employability works with students and graduates from all 6 Colleges to support them in developing their careers and creative businesses. Up to 25% of graduates identify as self-employed within 6 months of graduating from UAL and many more state they work for themselves at some point in their career.
Our work to support enterprise has been recognised by the Higher Education sector; we won the Award for Strategic Innovation at the AGACS Awards for Excellence in 2018.
We partner with a wide range of organisations to provide opportunities for our students. We can help you to engage with UAL’s network of creative students and graduates in different ways, including:
- Events and fairs
- Sponsorship
- Advertising jobs
- Paid internships
- Mentoring
- Large-scale projects and live briefs
We value the contributions made by partner companies and organisation and we are always looking to forge new relationships.
If you are interested in getting your brand in front of our students and graduates? Please sign up to our partnerships mailing list to be kept informed about opportunities to partner.
