Ready to begin your creative journey at UAL? With courses spanning from Creative Computing to Advertising, Cosmetic Science to Games Design, we have the right course for you. Join UAL in September 2026!

At University of the Arts London, we are calling on all creatives. Those who see the world not just for what it is, but for what it could be. We want the restless scribblers who turn thoughts into stories. The dreamers who let their imagination run wild. The worldbuilders who construct realms beyond the everyday. The startlers who make others stop and think. The impossibilists who chase the “what ifs” and make them real. The reimaginers who believe in breaking the rules to create new ones.

This is your chance to explore, to create, to challenge, and to push boundaries. Join us, and transform your ideas into something extraordinary. The future of creativity needs you.
