With over 850 masters and doctoral students drawn from all around the world interacting with a teaching staff of over 100 professionals (all leading art and design practitioners in their own right), the Royal College of Art is a very special kind of ideas factory.
As the world’s only wholly postgraduate university institution of art and design we specialise in teaching and research, offering MA, MPhil and PhD degrees across the disciplines of fine art, applied art, design, communications and humanities. Along with an impressive roll call of visiting professors, lecturers and advisors, our students are given first-class opportunities for major collaborations with cultural and industrial partners.
It all adds up to a creative environment that’s unrivalled - one of the most concentrated and exciting communities of artists and designers to be found anywhere on the planet.

| Location and Getting there |
The Royal College of Art is located in London on Kensington Gore, facing Hyde Park and right next to the Royal Albert Hall. Along with a cluster of colleges and museums it forms part of an area now known as 'Albertopolis' – from Hyde Park stretching south to the Victoria and Albert Museum – which owes its existence to the Great Exhibition of 1851, 150 years ago. A further facility in Battersea, south London, houses the heavy equipment and large space required for Sculpture and a number of other activities.
