Industry connections

We believe students learn best when they’re challenged. When they’re active participants, learning from some of the best in the business – working on projects and collaborating in teams . Because this is how things get done in the real world.

Here, CEOs and senior leaders of international brands join us on campus to deliver a connected, industry-led education. You'll take part in a variety rich of learning opportunities – from guest lectures and masterclasses to collaborations, focus groups and live projects – to help you develop your skillset and build your network. Discover our latest industry speakers.

And with London on our doorstep, you'll never feel confined to the classroom. Instead, you'll join exclusive events, openings and backstage tours of some of the city’s most iconic businesses and brands.
