Royal College of Art summer schools from June to August 2022 attract a global mix of artists, critical thinkers, curators and writers from over 60 countries. The RCA was ranked number one university for art and design for the eighth consecutive academic year in the QS World University Rankings.

We provide unparalleled opportunities to access our world-leading teaching, researchers, guest practitioners and facilities, as well as collaborate and connect with an international network of peers.

The short courses reflect the college’s unique studio-based learning philosophy with small class sizes, practical group work, rich interaction between students and academics, enhanced peer-to-peer networking and a certificate of achievement on completion. Whether you’re looking for a step-change in your career, transforming your practice with world class thought-leaders, or are considering embarking on one of our MA Programmes, the summer schools offer a snapshot of studying at the College.
