Strategic vision 2022–27
Our strategic vision is to increase our influence on the world stage of globally ranked universities, punching significantly above our weight, and attracting, supporting and convening the world’s most talented faculty, students, artists, designers and creative leaders.
We will remain an independent, postgraduate institution with a sharply distinctive and fresh research agenda and a research-driven approach towards our taught programmes that keeps us always one step ahead. We’ll focus on areas of expertise that only the RCA can offer – including some big-bet propositions where we have the appetite for well-managed risk and we are prepared to enter new ventures with new associates. We’ll lead in new fields of creative practice and intellectual inquiry where we believe creative insights and a uniquely RCA perspective will catalyse new solutions to global challenges.
We recognise that the winning formula must be built upon a diversity of student talent with a taught Master’s model that is more inclusive, affordable and better suited to twenty-first century lifestyles and careers.
“The objects of the College shall be to advance learning, knowledge and professional competence particularly in the field of fine arts, in the principles and practice of art and design in their relation to industrial and commercial processes and social developments and other subjects relating thereto through teaching, research and collaboration with industry and commerce.”
