Goldsmiths is internationally known for innovation in subject areas covering the arts, humanities, social sciences, computing and teacher training. We look at subjects in creative and unconventional ways, but everything we do is based on the highest academic standards of teaching and research.

Why study with us?

Goldsmiths offers a distinct and highly creative environment in which to study. As a student here you’ll be taught innovative subjects by world-leading academics. You’ll learn in the heart of London, benefiting from our global links and international reach. You’ll develop the skills, experience and connections that will help you make sense of the world and explore your passions. And you’ll become a valued part of a welcoming and broad-minded community.

Many of our lecturers and academics are active in the creative and cultural industries, so your learning will be informed by current practice. You’ll also benefit from our interdisciplinary approach to learning and research: our departments and smaller centres and units often interact to develop new perspectives and insights into each other’s subjects.

We’re based in New Cross, South East London, an eclectic and creative area with lots to see and do locally. New Cross also has excellent transport connections to the heart of the capital – central London is just 15 minutes away by train. Our single campus means that you don’t have to travel far to access our great facilities and halls of residence.
