Pens. Paint. Programmes. It all adds up.

Six years ago, you told us that the cost of materials at UAL was too high. And now, it's more expensive than ever.

So we're doing something about it. Today, we're launching Name Your Price: a survey to discover the real cost of a UAL education. We want to hear about your experiences of the cost of materials at UAL, so we can lobby UAL to make a real difference and bring down your costs. For just a few minutes of your time, you can be an (anonymous) part of our work - and you could win one of five Love2Shop vouchers worth £50.

Join the call today.
