The Royal College of Art is committed to ensuring the excellence of the standards of its awards and the quality of the learning experience.

This commitment is realised through the work of all College staff – academic, administrative and support – and is expressed in the College’s Mission Statement.

The College has established a series of polices and procedures to assure itself of the quality of its educational provision, all of which address national expectations. The Quality Handbook provides an overview of these.

The College has a Learning and Teaching Strategy, which aims to identify and address the challenges that the College faces in enhancing the learning experience, and in transforming the lives of those that study here.
