T his is a great opportunity to ask questions you have in a group setting, and listen to the questions and discussion from other incoming RCA students.

What to expect

Our virtual events are much more like conversations. You are very welcome to switch on your webcam and ask questions, but if you prefer to remain off-camera and listen, that’s perfectly fine too.

About Student Support

Student Support offer confidential help and practical support at any point. We aim to be flexible and responsive and provide a welcoming space to talk things through.

If you are struggling with a personal problem or any other situation which is negatively impacting your studies you can speak with us. We can help students with incidents of harassment and misconduct, reporting crimes, accessing healthcare, or simply if you are struggling to settle in London. We will always provide a confidential space and we will always listen non-judgementally.

Other events at the RCA

We are continually adding to our diverse programme of events: conversations on key topics such as funding advice and portfolio development, symposia, exhibitions, open days and more. Many are free and open to the public.
