International partnerships

Camberwell College of Arts believes in social responsibility and using creativity in service of this.

Our international partnerships, projects and exchanges develop this idea further by looking at how art and design can support communities in a global context.

We work internationally to:

  • build academic networks
  • foster research and knowledge exchange
  • broaden student and staff horizons
  • encourage students from partner institutions to study at the College.
