Alumni

The achievements of our students, staff and alumni are the true testament to our success. They regularly receive honours and awards such as the Saatchi Scholarship, the Sunday Times Award, the Jerwood Prize, the Fujifilm Award, British Fashion Designer of the Year, the Turner Prize and the Prince Philip Designers Prize.

Alumni of the six Colleges can be found in major design houses, prominent galleries, theatres and leading communication and publishing firms around the globe. Many are in leadership positions and have been recognised - and rewarded - for their contributions to cultural, professional, industrial and commercial life.

Alumni and other prominent practitioners are regularly invited to the colleges as visiting lecturers. This allows students to meet and converse with leaders in their fields and to establish important future contacts.
