University of the Arts London
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of the Arts London is a federal university and Europe's largest and leading centre for education in art communication and design. It also owns the Cochrane Theatre in Holborn. The Rector is Sir Michael Bichard.
It was previously called The London Institute, but changed its name upon being awarded university status in 2004. Wimbledon College of Art joined the university in 2006.
In September 2006 the University of the Arts London has changed its visual appearance and also turned parts of its site at Davies Street into the Student Hub - a place for students with learning resources, a new Students' Union bar and café. Also the University of the Arts London Students' Union moved from its previous location on Catton Street to its new location on the ground floor in Davies Street. As the university is not a university based in one place but has many sight across London a central building for its students to go to was necessary.The j-pop singer Rie Fu attends this school.
