There are over 1,800 Master’s and doctoral students and more than 1,000 professionals interacting with them – including scholars, art and design practitioners, along with specialists, advisers and distinguished visitors.

Crucially the College is ranked as the most research-intensive art and design research environment to be found in the UK.

The College will also be opening its new creative hub which will be in White City, at the regenerated BBC headquarters in the autumn of 2017. It will be the new home of the School of Communication and all humanities programmes. In this environment, they will develop a purposeful concentration of postgraduate enquiry, ensuring also that close links with the Schools of Architecture, Design and Arts & Humanities in Kensington and Battersea are maintained, as well as with the RCA’s existing partner institutions.
