In September 2023 London College of Fashion (LCF), UAL, moved to a new campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP), as part of a new development for London known as East Bank, the UK's newest cultural quarter for innovation, creativity and learning at the heart of QEOP in Stratford, east London.
Our specialist facilities provide students with a wide variety of equipment, tools and resources including sample and sewing rooms, science laboratories, make-up studios, virtual and augmented reality suites and technical workshops. We are also home to an exceptional fashion library and archive and a wide range of technologies including garment visualisation and wearable technology.
All students can use these facilities, such as the Library and Archives and Lecture Theatre.
Students can enjoy a range of places to eat, terraces, lounges and heart spaces.
Students can access free, confidential support, and find spaces on campus for reflection.
Researchers have the opportunity to access a wide range of facilities run by expert technicians.
Specialist technical teams play a key role throughout your time here. They will be teaching essential parts of your course curriculum and providing guidance in a range of processes from traditional craft to innovative digital practice. Technical teams also manage the various specialist resources and stores across LCF.
At LCF, on-campus activity is enhanced through E-learning, which supports flexible and independent learning. The ‘Virtual Learning Environment’ (VLE) allows you to participate in a wide range of projects and collaborate with fellow students, staff and industry. Moodle is the VLE at UAL. This will be the main ‘home’ for your course online and you should ensure to check it regularly.
Learning Technology offers an extensive array of services designed to assist you throughout your academic journey. While our primary mode of support is in-person consultation, we also offer a comprehensive selection of online guides, supplemented by a dedicated support staff available online.
