Outreach Provision

UAL run innovative learning programmes for 2 age groups: ‘pre-16’ and ‘post-16’. This means they can support students as they progress through different stages of their educational journey. Their Outreach team is based at sites across UAL’s six Colleges. They are always looking to develop collaborations and welcome the chance to discuss ideas with teachers and other professionals working with young people.

UAL Insights

All their projects start with a creative brief and access to subject area experts - UAL tutors and students (Outreach Ambassadors). They provide a space to experiment with different disciplines, techniques and processes. This enables students to discover what kind of art or design practice could suit their creative abilities and interests.

At 'pre-16' level UAL introduce students to a range of possible 'creative futures' through masterclasses, visits and presentations. From year 9 and 10 onwards, longer, more intense projects help pupils and students to recognise their own creative potential and prepare for the transition between different levels of creative education.

UAL's core ‘post-16’ programme runs across students’ 1st and 2nd year of Level 3 or A/AS Level study. Spring Schools encourage students to explore a range of disciplines before specialising in a particular subject area in our Summer Schools. During their Autumn/Winter Schools activities switch to developing portfolios and preparing for interviews in order to support students' progression to university courses.
