Royal Academy of Arts

Established in 1837, the Royal College of Art is the world’s oldest art and design university in continuous operation, with a tradition of innovation and excellence in creative education. In 2018, the RCA was ranked as the number one Art and Design university in the world – for the fourth consecutive year – by the QS World University Subject Rankings.

The Fashion programmes offered at the RCA look for and encourage a fearless approach to creative expression, fanatical technique and an informed outlook. The focus is towards strengthening this spirit of exploration through unique expertise and a polymathic debate with modern global awareness. We further encourage a strong work ethic across a broad variety of personally driven, industry-oriented and cross-programme design projects

New ideas, materials, methods and design applications are continually originated and progressed by our MA, MPhil and PhD students. Staff endeavour to create a course environment directed towards this creative self-discovery, one that offers each student both the conceptual tutelage and technical guidance to achieve their 3D design objectives.
