Kingston School of Art at Kingston University seeks to engage in innovative practice-focussed education in art and design. Through a focus upon disciplinary expertise rooted in professional practice and industry, the Faculty seeks to diminish the boundary between study and work, education and practice. It places great importance on the role of 'making' art, design & architecture, and has strategically placed interdisciplinary workshops at the heart of its curriculum. These include a sector-leading 3D workshop, Digital Media workshops, Premier Filming Studios and Suite, Fashion workshops, and analogue and digital photography suite. Throughout its curriculum and resources, the Faculty has embraced the innovations of digital technology within the context and tradition of analogue precedents. We remain committed to artists, designers and architects who think critically, and make practically.
Kingston School of Art has formal links in China, India, Korea, Norway and Japan. We have been running many projects in collaboration with the British Council in China, Korea as well as Japan. These include the prestigious Dreamlab, involving over 40 universities in China and carried out in partnership with the RCA, Design Museum and Science Museum. Many student projects collaborate with professional business partners such as Colite, Lloyd Loom, Lego, IKEA, Tate Modern, The Design Museum, The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Museum of London, Gap, Levi and Brookes Brothers have carried out extensive projects with fashion students. Architecture has been listed as one of the world’s top100 schools by Domus magazine. Lady Gaga has been wearing clothes designed by a Kingston student. Creative Review regularly features prize winning projects by students from graphic design and Illustration. The Kintakyo Bridge project has been installed at the Japanese Embassy; The EU Waterways Project has been running for several years from the Interface Studio at Kingston. Film making students have internships at the British Film Institute (BFI), D+AD and RSA awards are overwhelmingly acquired by Kingston students from the design schools and the current holder of the Turner Prize is just one of our staff who regularly work and exhibit on an international and national platform.
Located in South West London, Kingston University benefits from the cultural, industrial and social resources of a world city. Kingston School of Art benefits from educational, industrial and cultural partnerships across the city, the country and throughout the world. For the past two years Kingston University has been placed in the top of the Guardian League Table for Art & Design, and our Design School was recently listed as one of the top ten international schools by Red Dott. Recent and current partners include the Royal College of Art, University of Arts London, New Balance, Gap Inc, Brooks Brothers, Woolworths (SA), the Design Council, the British Council, the V&A, the Science Museum and Historic Royal Palaces.
Kigston School of Art has a long and successful History, with the original art school founded in 1890s. However, the Faculty is committed to the future and the ways in which our courses and students will play a part in forming and improving the world – locally, nationally and internationally. In particular, for example our MA Design for Development exemplifies our commitment to social and ethical approaches to art, design and the built environment education and we also have a commitment to sustainability running through all our courses. Many of the courses are developed in collaboration with related industries and institutions, which inform and finance many student projects.
We have four Schools within KSA, composed as follows:
School of Art & Architecture
School of Critical Studies and Creative Industries (CSCI)
The Design School
School of Arts Culture and Communication
