Partners

Our long-standing partnerships with iconic cultural venues in London and world-leading universities around the world offer our students the opportunity to enhance their degree.

We run Master's programmes in partnership with Shakespeare's Globe and the British Library, and provide career workshops in collaboration with the Royal Society of Literature. Students can learn directly from professionals in the arts and to access internships that can kickstart careers.

We also have research projects collaborating with a range of organisations, from cultural venues and historical sites to charities and social initiatives.

Our students also have the opportunity to spend a year abroad as part of their undergraduate degree at a university in Australia, Asia, North America or Europe. With our international partners, opportunities include exchanges of academic staff and research students, as well as joint research and teaching activities.

Joint PhD programmes are available in collaboration with Humboldt Universität and the National University of Singapore, giving students the opportunity to receive a qualification from two institutions.
