Londonthe best

mix of nationalities, cultures and beliefs. As an

Londons museums and galleries are famous.

There are more than 200, too many to list, and
many of them are free to visit. There are also
around 100 major theatres and a thriving
alternative Fringe scene. Londons annual cultural
calendar includes London Fashion Week, Frieze
Art Fair, LIFT theatre festival, Social Media Week
and London Design Festival. There are more
than 30,000 music performances a year, plus
200 festivals, including major outdoor events like
Lovebox and Notting HillCarnival.

Roundhouse. Each summer, north Londons
legendary cultural centre imports 150 tonnes of
sand. Beach huts, music, pingpong, food and
drink complete the experience.
See art in the outdoors at Londons Fourth
Plinth in Trafalgar Square, or at other public art
sites across the capital, including the Southbank.
See the work of street artists like Banksy on a
special walking or cycling tour.

galleries and museums in east London run free

Camden, Spitalfields, Borough, Portobello Road

Get on your bike. Londons parks offer
trafficfree cycling, as does its canal network.
At the newly opened Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park in east London, you can cycle through the
wildflower meadows next to the River Lea, or
follow in the footsteps of athletes in the VeloPark.
Go for a swim in the open air. Outdoor
swimming pools include London Fields,
Brockwell, Tooting Bec and Parliament Hill, while
Hampstead Heath has its own bathing ponds
amid the trees.
Meet artists and designers in their own
studios. London hosts many open studio
events, including Open House London and Arts
Unwrapped, which features 40 studios across
three weekends in MayandJune.

Studying arts and

design in the UK
Studying arts and design in the UK may be a
very different experience to art and design study
in your own country. In the UK, for example,
emphasis is placed on the creative process, as
well as on mastering technical skills. This usually
involves researching, developing ideas, and
exploring materials and methods. The last stage
of the process is the realisation of final pieces
ofwork.
Although you will cover some theory, you will
take part in lots of practical workshops and
projects that are linked to the creative industries.
Independent learning is also a strong feature of
arts and design courses in the UK. You will be
encouraged to think for yourself and develop
your own ways of working. You will be given lots
of support from tutors and technical staff to help
you do this.
Arts and design degrees in the UK are often more
specialised than in other countries. This will allow
you to focus on a specific area. This could be fine
art, costume design, graphic design or another
subject you are interested in.
Preparatory courses
UAL offers a range of courses that help
international students bridge the gap between
the education system in their own countries
and the UK. These courses prepare you for the
next level of study and help you to develop a
portfolio (evidence of your arts and design work).
Theportfolio is an essential part of the application
for most practicebased arts and design courses.
Our main preparatory courses are listed as
follows. Details about course content and how to
apply can be found on our website.

Foundation Diploma in Art and Design

If you wish to study art and design at
undergraduate degree level in the UK (for
example, BA, BSc, FdA, FdSc), most universities
will expect you to have completed a preparatory
