You're invited to join us in Hanoi to meet the world's number 1 art and design university!
We’re delighted to bring the Royal College of Art to Hanoi for the first time, creating a space for future creatives to meet, exchange ideas, and explore postgraduate study in art and design.
This event is for those exploring postgraduate routes in art, design, architecture, communication, humanities and interdisciplinary practice. Learn more about how the RCA supports artists, designers and researchers to develop their work in an international context and what prospective students need to know about living and studying in London.
You’re invited to meet Joseph Pochodzaj (Senior Tutor & Admissions Tutor – Visual Communication MA) and Lychee Chin (Student Recruitment Manager – SEA) in Hanoi for an in-person conversation about studying at the RCA.
