You're invited to join us in Rome at the QS Discover fair to learn about the world's number 1 art and design university!
Studying at the Royal College of Art places you in London: a city internationally renowned for its creativity, culture and diversity - the perfect place to develop your creative career in. What do prospective students need to know about living and studying in the UK?
You’re invited to meet Dr Spyros Bofylatos (Tutor Research on Design Products MA) and Charlie Smith (Events and Recruitment Officer) in Rome for an in-person conversation about studying at the RCA.
What to expect
Wednesday 8 October 2025, 4pm-7.30pm
We'd love you to join for all parts of the event but if you can only join for part of it, that's fine too.
Who is this event for
- Those interested in postgraduate study at the Royal College of Art
- Current RCA applicants and offer-holders
- Friends and family are also welcome to join, though please ensure they have a ticket
You don't have to specialise in any discipline to attend this event: we welcome guests planning to apply to all subject areas.
How to join
The event is free to attend, but please note that places are limited. Pre-booking is essential to guarantee your spot.
I'm thinking of applying to the RCA - can I have an informal portfolio chat?

Or join us at our own event on Tuesday 7 October 2025. Come along to discover more about the RCA, have your portfolio reviewed and meet the faculty. Find out more and register for a ticket on Eventbrite.
