About this programme

UAL Short Courses for teenagers are fun and creative short courses for ages 11 to 18, taught by college staff and industry experts across UAL's renowned London colleges including Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts, London College of Fashion and London College of Communication. Students work in the same state-of-the-art studios as degree students, building practical skills across subjects such as fine art, fashion design, film and graphic design. Courses for ages 11 to 15 focus on experimentation and building confidence, while courses for ages 16 to 18 focus on portfolio development, technical mastery and a first-hand look at university life. All students receive a UAL Short Courses digital badge and certificate on completion.
