University of the Arts LondonLocation London, United Kingdom Since Research degrees were awarded already in the 1990s as London Institute, first with CNAA, then with accreditation through Open University. UAL is an independent university since 2004, bringing together six major London art colleges. In 2009 a graduate school was created at the Camberwell, Chelsea, and Wimbledon Colleges (C-C-W), creating a specific institutional frame for approx. half of the university's research. Disciplines Fine Art, Design, Media, Fashion, Conservation Degrees Phd, MPhil. UAL has sometimes awarded Mphils when a Phd was applied for. Number of third cycle students 170 (80 of which in CCW) Structure Research at UAL is principally conducted through the UAL's six colleges, and doctoral students are admitted through them. Research centres and networks operate either within or accross the colleges:
Requirements A master's degree, although the normal minimum entry requirement for a research degree is an upper second class honours degree of a British University or recognised institution of higher education. In some instances, applicants without this requirement may be considered if they can demonstrate appropriate alternative qualifications, professional experience or previous research. Those for whom English is not a first language have to pass an International English Language Test. Publications and conferences Research news and events are on http://newsevents.arts.ac.uk/search/research/. In May 2012, UAL is hosting the 2nd SHARE conference. Although the Graduate School and the research centres facilitate events and publications, there is no specific series of either devoted to the University’s artistic research. Supervision 2 to 3 supervisors. UAL makes a strong distinction between taught degrees and research degrees.
