Thank you for considering City & Guilds of London Art School for the next step of your education.

For our BA and MA courses, we run school-wide undergraduate and postgraduate Open Days. This will give you a chance to meet fellow prospective students across all disciplines alongside experiencing the Art School and learning more about your chosen course. Our Foundation Diploma in Art & Design has separate, dedicated Open Days.

Attending an in-person open day is the best way to get a feel for life at City & Guilds of London Art School before submitting your application. The event begins with a welcome from the Art School Principal, after which you will be given a full tour of our workshops and facilities. During this, you will meet course staff and have the chance to chat with current students and see their work. After your visit, we encourage you to explore Kennington and the local area.

STUDENT VIRTUAL CHATS

We have now run our last Student Virtual Chat of this academic year. These will recommence in the Autumn.

Our Student Virtual Chats provide a space for you to speak online with current students.

Held monthly on Zoom, these chats are a great opportunity to get an understanding of student life at City & Guilds of London Art School.

You can ask our group of students any questions about applying to the Art School, our courses and the student experience: from the size of the studios or the type of assignments you’ll be set, to finding accommodation.
