Student welding at Wimbledon College of Art

Wimbledon has a long history as a specialist art

institution – we’ve been around since the

1890s.

Wimbledon has an excellent reputation in the

industry for both its Theatre & Screen and Fine

Art specialisms

All our academic staff are practising artists,

designers and makers.

Our small campus also means that you get a

really personal experience here at Wimbledon

whilst at the same time being part of a much

larger creative community.

There is a real community feel at Wimbledon

College of Art due to the small and specialist

nature of the college.

Student Ambassadors today and ask them all

about their time at Wimbledon and the

opportunities it has provided them with – from

trips and social activities to specialist lectures

to industry experience.

Student Life

Accommodation

Due to the wide range of college locations around the city – the University of the Arts London is not a ‘campus style’ institution.

This means that students at Wimbledon live in a diverse variety of areas. UAL aim to give all first year students a place in halls such as Furzedown Hall in Tooting which is ideally located for Wimbledon students.

A lot of student decide to rent private accommodation, either way the Student Accommodation service are dedicated to ensuring that all UAL students get the support they need when choosing accommodation.

Some of the most popular areas to live locally are: Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Colliers Wood, Tooting, Streatham and Camberwell.

At UAL we are dedicated to ensuring the wellbeing of all of our students across all of our programmes. We have a number of support services in place to cover all eventualities.
