What kind of information can I find on the University of the Arts London website?

Updated

The official University of the Arts London (UAL) website is arts.ac.uk. It is the primary source for authoritative information about the university, and it is where you should verify current details rather than relying on third-party summaries. The site describes UAL as a world Top 2 university for art and design according to the QS World University Rankings® and as Europe's largest specialist university for art and design.

What the site covers

Because arts.ac.uk is UAL's own domain, it is the place to look for:

  • University-level information — what UAL is, its standing in art and design, and how it presents itself as a specialist institution.
  • Colleges — UAL is a collegiate university, so the site is the natural entry point for finding its constituent colleges and what each one offers.
  • Specialist art and design offerings — the courses, subjects, and creative disciplines that reflect its focus as an art and design specialist.

How to use it

  1. Start at arts.ac.uk and use the site's own navigation to reach the section you need (about the university, colleges, or subject areas).
  2. Treat any detail you find — course listings, college structure, current descriptions — as authoritative only when it appears on arts.ac.uk itself.
  3. If a third-party page summarizes UAL, cross-check the claim against the official site before relying on it.

A practical caution

Third-party summaries can lag behind or simplify what UAL publishes. For anything that may change — such as which colleges exist, what a department is called, or how the university describes its rankings — check arts.ac.uk directly. The site is the reference point; other sources are only useful as pointers back to it.
