University of the Arts London offers an extensive range of courses in art, design, fashion, communication and performing arts. Our graduates go on to work in and shape the creative industries worldwide. UAL is ranked second in the world for Art and Design in the 2022 QS World University Rankings®.
The University has a world-class reputation and is made up of 6 equally renowned Colleges: Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts, London College of Communication, London College of Fashion and Wimbledon College of Arts.
Wimbledon College of Arts has a long tradition of providing world class teaching in technical arts for theatre, film and television.
We believe in a non-hierarchical and inclusive approach to performance. That means we see all elements as equal partners. Whether it be acting, directing, writing or designing.
Our courses include acting, costume, production and theatre design.
A place to grow
Collaborative performance is a key part of the experience at Wimbledon. We design many of our course projects with that in mind. Students often work in teams to produce theatre, performance and other live events. This reflects working practices within the industry.
We want to develop your creativity, technical ability and professionalism. It is these qualities that enable many of our graduates to go on to have successful careers. Our alumni include costume designer Lorna Mugan, production designer Sarah Greenwood and set designers Simon Costin and Soutra Gilmour.
Build a network
Wimbledon College of Arts has well established national and international industry links. These include 2 of the United Kingdom's leading theatres: the National and the Lyric. Many of our staff are practicing professionals in their field. These connections allow students to gain valuable work experience.
Space to perform
Our facilities include specialist workshops, studios and an on-site professional theatre. In summer 2020 Wimbledon began a multimillion-pound investment programme to transform the site into a world-leading centre for performance. The main phase of work has now been completed, with the final works to refurbish the library due to finish in early 2023. These improvements will enable us to nurture performance talent of the future.
