UAL is a global university in the heart of London. We believe that creative education can tackle social issues and challenges around the world.
That's why we collaborate with international universities, organisations and governments on innovative research, partnerships, creative projects and exchanges.
Global Engagement at UAL
The UAL strategy proposes that the world needs creativity. Building on that premise, our Global Engagement Strategy is built on the notion that creativity needs the world if we are to deliver impactful change. We will achieve this by providing access to inclusive, globally connected education and research with international collaboration and engagement oriented to delivering positive change in the world.
Our new Global Engagement Strategy will help us accomplish these aims, by setting out how we can build an internationalised experience for our staff and students, enable access and growth and support UAL’s profile, brand and advocacy work.
It will also help UAL achieve our goals to be a purpose driven organisation and support the specific international priorities and objectives from UAL Colleges, Directorates and Service.
