Opportunities

At Arts SU, we want to give you the tools for a sustainable creative career. The Arts Programme team are here to provide you with the chance to showcase your work, access new experiences, collaborate with organisations across London, and help you to develop professionally during your time studying at UAL.

Our events and opportunities could be anything from attending (or leading!) a workshop, panel discussions with creative professionals in the industry, chances to apply for mentorships and bursaries, or the chance to showcase your work through an exhibition.

Each year is never the same as we listen to student feedback to inform the next year’s activity.

Check out our upcoming events and opportunities below. And make sure to follow us to be the first to hear how you can get involved!
