Collaborative Residency Last term, 10 students from across UAL colleges, courses and year groups were selected for a Collaborative Residency at our High Holborn space. The residency was aimed at students interested in collaboration and interdisciplinary research.

Project Spaces Arts SU aims to provide a safe and supportive environment that enriches the student experience and allows for students to learn and develop their creative practice and career.
Made in Arts London Made in Arts London is an online shop that supports UAL students who want to sell their work to the public, through practice and theory.
Xhibit Originally founded in 1997 by Chelsea College of Art and Design graduates Kit Hammonds and Angela Robinson, Xhibit aims to showcase the best emerging creatives from UAL.
Our Partners The Arts Programme team works in partnership with forward thinking charities, organisations, companies and brands on exciting collaborations that support UAL students.
