When

Our Online Open Days Week will take place from Tuesday 6 May until Tuesday 13 May.

How to join

From 6-13 May you can choose to join online sessions with staff to ask any questions you might have and to hear from our programme teams first-hand on what we look out for in your portfolio.

• The online sessions will take place virtually on Zoom. The events are free to attend, but you will need to register to guarantee your spot and receive the Zoom link.
• To avoid any technical issues on the day, we recommend you download the latest version of Zoom in advance.
• When it’s time, come back to this page to join the event - you’ll get an email reminder on the day too to remind you of what is happening at which times.

Joining from a country where Zoom doesn't work?
Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Ukraine (Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk regions) have restricted Zoom for regulatory reasons. Please reach out to [email protected] if this affects you.

Who is this event for

• Those interested in postgraduate study at the Royal College of Art
• Family and friends are also welcome to join, though please ensure they have a ticket

What to expect

Our virtual events are much more like conversations. You are very welcome to switch on your webcam and ask questions, but if you prefer to remain off-camera and listen, that’s perfectly fine too.

Other events at the RCA

We are continually adding to our diverse programme of events: conversations on key topics such as funding advice and portfolio development, symposia, exhibitions, open days and more. Many are free and open to the public.
