Internationally renowned for a creative and innovative approach to teaching and research, at Goldsmiths we offer undergraduate, postgraduate, teacher training and return-to-study opportunities in subjects covering the arts, social sciences, humanities and computing. Our unique academic approach comes from the interaction of 15 academic departments, together with a number of smaller centres and units. We are committed to avant-garde, radical thinking, which creates an environment that encourages freedom of thought and expression. Many of our former students have become leaders and innovators in their chosen fields—they include Antony Gormley, Mary Quant, Damien Hirst, Bridget Riley, Sam Taylor-Wood, Graham Coxon and Malcolm McLaren.
