You're invited to join us in Milan to find out more 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 Milan for an in-person conversation about studying at the RCA.

What to expect

Saturday 11 October, 11am 1.30pm

11am - Guest arrivals and refreshments

11.30am - About the RCA presentation and Q&A

1pm - Networking and group portfolio workshop

1.30pm - End

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.

Due to the postgraduate nature of RCA study, all attendees must be over 18.

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?

Yes! We're delighted you're thinking of starting your RCA journey. Please join our portfolio workshop at the event to learn more.
