University of the Arts London is Europe's largest university for art, design, fashion, communication and the performing arts.
The students regularly receive honours and awards such as the Saatchi Scholarship, the Sunday Times Award, the Jerwood Prize, the Fujifilm Award, British Fashion Designer of the Year, the Turner Prize and the Prince Philip Designers Prize.
The University has its origins in six previously independent art, design, fashion and media colleges, which were brought together for administrative purposes to form the London Institute in 1986. The six colleges were originally established from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s.
