Secure your place

“It was a place where curiosity was absolutely encouraged, without limit and without borders, that was a very appealing place to be....I was so grateful to be there; I was just hungry. I saw everything as an opportunity, and that’s what allowed me to springboard and create those meetings with the Ministry of Justice and others. With the RCA you’ve got a badge that opens doors.”

Judah Armani Service Design graduate, Founder at InHouse Records

“There is such an amazing range of staff and tutors and the fact that everyone kind of came from different backgrounds makes it a richer experience. We had programmers, fine artists, engineers, it was an interesting kind of clash and combinations.”

“During my time at the RCA, I became aware of how much broader architecture can be in its role as a vehicle for change. The college was incredibly formative to me and plays a big part in the way that I operate now as a designer and as an architect. The multi-disciplinary spirit at Heatherwick studio often reminds me of the RCA.”

Andre Kong Architecture graduate, Associate & Project Leader at Heatherwick Studio

“Being at the RCA is a journey, finding out who you are as an artist. Working with tutors and visiting lectures you are introduced to different pathways, inspired to work in different ways and challenged on how you can use your knowledge and skills. As an independent filmmaker what I acquired from RCA has given me confidence and confirmation in what I can achieve in my career going forward.”

“There is at the RCA a sense of community that I hadn’t witnessed in French universities. Being surrounded by talented artists and creators is also very inspiring.”

Anna DuFour Montuori Curating Contemporary Art graduate, Arts Project Officer

“I came to the RCA because I was at a point where I felt like I needed to establish a visual identity for myself – a unique visual language that encompasses all my skills and interests. It has completely reshaped my process and helped me to think much more conceptually than I ever have before.”

Sosa Yande Graduate Diploma Art & Design graduate, Artist

“The staff made me realise that I could be more ambitious, more sure of myself and to grab the next dream project (in my case, a book) and make it happen. The RCA has most definitely opened doors for me – and showed me where the doors are.”

Laura Robertson Writing graduate, Author and freelance writer

“Throughout my career I realised that Royal College of Art was a constant reference by my favourite artists, and professionals. The choice seemed clear.”
