Online Open Day: Graduate Diploma

The Graduate Diploma Art & Design prepares you for Master’s study at the RCA. We focus on developing proficiency in the independent learning methods and practices of art and design, and on introducing you to the role and influence of art and design in the world today.

This Online Open Day event focuses on students planning to join the programme for our September 2026 intake. You are still welcome to join if you are interested in later intakes too, but some of the presentation materials might focus on the September 2026 entry.

Join us for this online event to meet our friendly team and get your questions answered.
