Professional Development

Our main aim is to help you manage your own learning and growth throughout your time studying at UAL and into the career you choose next.

 

Want to know more about how to develop your professional practice? Keep an eye on the events page for up-to-date information on our professional development events – free to all UAL students. We work with creative partners and organisations to bring you a range of unique opportunities and experiences, and help expand your professional networks. Access our resources and get support and guidance in your own time. Find out how you can develop your skills as a creative by applying to use our exhibition and project spaces. And why not gain some inspiration from previous student projects, knowing that you have the support from Arts SU behind you to develop and achieve your own future projects.

Our ever-changing programme aims to support you by:

  • Understanding the basic principles of becoming a professional creative
  • Increasing your confidence
  • Developing your networking skills and collaborating with others
  • Keeping your knowledge and skillset current
  • Helping you to achieve your career goals

The Arts SU recognises the role of collaboration as a method to ensure we have a student-focused and student-led programme of professional development. Therefore, we continually reflect and consult with you to improve our programme, to ensure that we are truly student led.

If there is an area of development you would like access to, an idea or opportunity you want to explore, or an organisation you’d like to connect with – please get in touch with the Arts Programme team to talk it through.
