CCAD's Millbank campus situated just a few steps from Tate Britain and overlooking the flow of the Thames, makes CCAD a place that will consistently challenge, inspire, surprise and stimulate students. The College has created a close community of cutting-edge artists and designers by having all of its courses based on one site, leading to different disciplines informing and contributing to each others' practice.

London College of Communication (LCC) [return to top]
LCC's modern central London campus is the best possible springboard for students wanting to progress in the rapidly expanding design, photography, broadcasting, publishing, advertising, film, printing, travel, retailing and media industries. LCC is wired into these industries more than any other UK university. In fact, current partnerships with Apple, Sony, Heidelberg and the London Business School confirm LCC’s position as a premier specialist college. The largest of UAL’s Colleges, with 9,000 students, LCC lists the London Eye, the South Bank film, art and theatre complex, and Tate Modern amongst its near neighbors.

Wimbledon College of Art (WCA) [return to top]
WCA joined UAL in 2006, but was founded in 1890 and is a small specialist art college with an outstanding reputation in fine art and theatre. It has a close-knit and friendly community, international in outlook, far enough away from the center of London to have real space to think and work in, but still just a 15 minute rail journey from the city’s rich cultural resources. The College has excellent studios, workshops, exhibition and theatre spaces, and social facilities, which have recently been further enhanced by purposebuilt postgraduate studios, and a newly refurbished 250 seat theatre incorporating film and sound studios.
