About

Goldsmiths has an academic legacy stretching back to 1891, but is always looking forward. At postgraduate level students can take degrees across subjects spanning anthropology, art, arts administration and cultural policy, community studies, computing, creative and cultural entrepreneurship, cultural studies, curating, design, education, English and comparative literature, history, journalism, management, media and communications, music, politics and international relations, psychology, social work, sociology, theatre and performance, therapeutic studies and visual cultures.

Goldsmiths students are encouraged to challenge perceptions, think in enterprising ways, and explore new ideas. This ability to challenge the status quo has led to Goldsmiths being voted one of the top creative and political universities in the UK (Which? University 2018). We’re also ranked 7th in the world for media and communications, and 11th in the world for art and design.
