Leeds Arts University is the only specialist arts university in the North of England; our students enjoy a small, close-knit community in a creative atmosphere where anything feels possible. We believe this is the best environment to grow as an artist, designer, musician, or filmmaker. To a great extent, our reputation goes before us: Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth studied here, as did, more recently, Marcus Harvey, Damien Hirst, Danny Sangra and Omar Kashoura. However, we never allow complacency. We work extremely hard to remain a leading center for arts education, choosing among the brightest international potential to produce some of the most sought-after creative talents. In the Guardian Education League Tables 2018, we were the highest ranked specialist arts university for Design & Crafts in the UK, ranking fifth in the UK. Excellent staff: student ratios mean you will benefit from as much personal attention and expert advice as you will need. We were also the highest-ranked specialist arts university for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2017, with 91% of final year students at the University reporting overall satisfaction with the quality of their course. Over the last 170 years, Leeds Arts University has contributed significantly to the development of art education in Britain, having pioneered new ways to teach and structure qualifications. In 1846, the Leeds Mechanics' Institute (which offered drawing classes) merged with the Literary Institute, creating Leeds School of Art. In 1903, it moved to our present Vernon Street building, whose radical design reflected the clean lines of the Art & Craft movement. In the late 1920s, the art school became known as Leeds College of Art, and by 1946, no less than fifteen past students had been appointed as principals of schools of art. As our reputation grew, new design departments were formed, including furniture, graphic design, and printmaking. New pottery and workshops were built, and in 1959 a new library was created. From the 1950s to the 1970s, there was a reappraisal of art education in Britain, primarily based on ideas developed at Leeds, where a large team of practicing artists set up the Basic Design Course. Students were now encouraged to adopt a scientific approach, enabling them to develop constructive criticism and understanding. Around that time, the University of Leeds' new Gregory Fellowship brought many practicing artists to Leeds, many of whom came to help out at the College. In 1960, we began to run courses that encouraged an open-ended, creative and flexible approach, leading to a new system of art education at Leeds and, subsequently, nationwide. In the mid-1980s, our Blenheim Walk building was erected. In 2017 we gained University status becoming Leeds Arts University, becoming the only specialist arts university in the North of England. Leeds Arts University is strongly committed to its outreach and aspiration raising activities. Widening Participation is embedded within our mission statement and our values. We work hard to engage with young people, mature learners, and communities as part of the OFFA (Office for Fair Access) agreed Access Agreement. We work in partnership to provide current information, advice, and guidance towards Higher Education and support the transition of disadvantaged individuals towards the creative industries through their educational experience. Widening Participation engagement is organized through the Progression Team. Current Leeds Arts University staff and students deliver a range of activities with our partner schools and Universities throughout the year, the range of activities vary between Easter & Summer Schools, the After School Taster Course, workshop taster sessions for all stages from primary, secondary, further education to mature learners, as well as providing mentoring, campus tours and presentations. These activities provide the participants with a look into the study programs that we deliver and an insight into the student experience as a creative student. We also provide a focus on employment and developing a career in the creative industries through Higher Education. Our fabulous, state-of-the-art resources and libraries offer you the best possible opportunities to prove your talent and potential. You will be able to produce work that meets or exceeds the demands of modern practice in art and design. Not all our studios and facilities are included above in the virtual tours; these are just a sample. Our workshops and studios are equipped to industry standards and are run by highly skilled staff who contribute significantly to our teaching. Studios and computer rooms are open on a Saturday, and workshops have a drop-in facility to work in your own time. Resources at Blenheim Walk serve our undergraduate and postgraduate students while those at Vernon Street support our further education courses.

Imperial College London is a world-top ten university with an international reputation for excellence in teaching and research. Consistently rated amongst the world's best universities, Imperial is committed to developing the next generation of researchers, scientists, and academics through collaboration across disciplines. Located in London's heart, Imperial is a multidisciplinary space for education, research, translation, and commercialization, harnessing science and innovation to tackle global challenges. Global research-driven universities like Imperial College London have a central role in helping humanity address these changes and challenges by making discoveries, educating leaders, and developing innovations that benefit society. However, these universities will need to change to contribute to this future. In our Strategy 2015–2020, we set out how Imperial will be a source of new solutions, a contributor to a better future, a trusted partner, and a new paradigm of the global university. We will support an atmosphere and culture that embraces discovery. We will continue to be guided by our mission of achieving enduring excellence in research and education in science, engineering, medicine, and business for the benefit of society. We will shrink the time and distance between fundamental discovery and societal benefit. We will provide our students with the knowledge and experiences that equip them for their future roles as leaders. We will have the courage to take risks. We will remain true to our mission. While we cannot envision all of the challenges ahead, we believe that Imperial can contribute by focusing our research around four themes: discovery and the natural world engineering novel solutions health and well-being and leading the data revolution. Great discoveries begin with great people: talented individuals steeped in the knowledge of their core discipline, confident enough to work on risky, unsolved problems, adept at understanding and working with others from different fields, and immersed in an atmosphere of excellence. They are underpinned by talented support staff who put their full energy and passion into their work and our mission. We will make supporting and enabling all these people central to what we do. Our bright and energetic students are integral to our mission. We will enhance their experiences by embedding their education in cutting-edge research and providing increasing opportunities for them to use their talents in new entrepreneurial, creative, and practical ways. The Dyson School of Design Engineering is an example of how we will nurture the multifaceted talents of our students and develop them into future leaders. We have a tremendous asset in our highly successful alumni and friends. We will revitalize our relationship with them and encourage them to be a part of the Imperial College London of today and the future. Their knowledge, expertise, and experience will contribute to the intellectual power of the College. Across the world, people recognize that the changes and challenges we face require us to work together more effectively. Universities must drive collaboration, work across disciplines, and seize opportunities in ways and at a pace unusual for academia. It is the only way that we can solve the world's challenges. At Imperial, we are good at working across disciplines and collaborating. In 2014 three-quarters of our research papers collaborated with external co-authors from over 140 countries and 6,000 different universities, businesses, and other research organizations. However, we can be even better and can lead to new areas. We will seek the very best from around the world, sometimes collaborating with our toughest competition to create a fantastic team. We will ensure that our reward structures provide incentives for sharing, collaborating, and building relationships. This means that we will recognize collaboration in our evaluations for promotions and awards, and we will advocate for funders and evaluators to support collaborative work. We will make all of our campuses into dynamic centers of collaboration and innovation. We will bring staff, students, entrepreneurs, and industry researchers together in modern purpose-built spaces where ideas can be developed and tested rigorously and where networks can flourish. In White City, we create a new campus where partnerships working on global challenges transcend departmental boundaries. Every day, individuals, policymakers, and business leaders face questions, the answers to which require an understanding of the natural world, technology, medical advances, and business analysis. We can make a tremendous difference by using our expertise and knowledge to provide factual evidence and advice to government and business decision-makers. Also, the world is full of people who are naturally curious and enjoy learning. We must excite and inspire the public, from potential new students to eager lifelong learners, by sharing what we do in ways that arouse curiosity, awaken a love of discovery, and broaden the understanding of an increasingly complex world. Researchers are courageous. We probe the boundaries of knowledge; we seek discovery and delve into the unknown. We take calculated risks when we know we are onto something important. We find collaborators readily. Individually we already know how to do this. Institutions are more conservative. We will ensure that Imperial creates an environment where researchers can be courageous and push back the boundaries of their fields. We will make working together easy and support judicious risk-taking and collaboration. The world is changing, and Imperial is changing too. We set out this Strategy 2015–2020 to help guide us in the next few years. We acknowledge that we do not know where the new challenges and opportunities will be. We do know that we have great people, and we will build a more agile, adaptive, and resilient organization so that we will be ready for whatever the future holds.

The London School of Science & Technology (LSST) is a privately managed higher education college which was founded by Mr. Syed Zaidi in 2003 with the vision to support local communities and encourage social cohesion. Through his successful leadership, LSST has grown to become one of the leading institutions of its kind, widening participation to include anyone with a desire for education. With a student population of 2,000, our learners' diversity reflects our ethos – to provide education to all students, regardless of their background and upbringing. We recognize that the conventional route into higher education does not work for everyone; therefore, we focus on what qualities our prospective students can bring to their learning experience rather than their qualifications. Our focus is on you – which is why we offer a flexible timetable to allow you to fit your studies around your daily responsibilities. Our headquarters are based at our London campus in Alperton, which houses our Senior Management Team and all central administrative functions. We have expanded our reach to include campuses in Luton and Birmingham, with each Campus having its management, administrative and academic teams. At LSST, we pride ourselves on offering a quality learning experience. Our institutions' intimate nature allows our dedicated staff to provide direct one-to-one support to our students, guaranteeing a rewarding and fulfilling route to success. Our current academic portfolio consists of career-focused courses delivered at Levels 3 to 6, particularly in the fields of Business (with several pathways), IT and Computing, and Hospitality Management. LSST is a new concept in higher education designed to integrate study into the life that you lead. Gaining higher-level skills and qualifications is essential, but sometimes it can be difficult or virtually impossible to fit traditional study into your life. That is why we have designed this new approach to learning. LSST is designed specifically for people who want to benefit from high-quality courses but have decided that the traditional student experience is not for them. We provide a focused teaching and learning environment that will lead to academic and professional qualifications. Moreover, this is precisely where our commitment lies and makes sure that our courses meet the criteria for an academic qualification – wherever possible, we have designed our courses around the standards for professional qualifications. We want every student that leaves LSST to have the relevant skills and knowledge that will help them secure employment in their chosen profession – so you have the potential to achieve an academic qualification plus a professional qualification, which could help make you even more attractive to employers. We offer a structured teaching week with the flexibility to choose morning or afternoon classes, wherever possible and numbers permitting, to help you study around your other commitments. This can be an ideal option if you are a mature student returning to education or need to fit your studies around your job. LSST puts you in charge. You manage your studies to suit your work responsibilities, commitments, and lifestyle – working towards an academic qualification is challenging, but it should not be a chore. Our course teams contain both academics and practicing professionals. They aim to work together to discover your subject from all angles, the theory, and the practice. Moreover, unlike many other institutions, our tutors maintain high-class contact levels and offer support to help ensure you are learning throughout your time at LSST. LSST validates all of our awards, so you can be confident that you are studying at the university level and be assured that the content is of high quality. The fees that you pay at LSST are significantly lower than those at many other comparable institutions. Fees cover all of your classes, online tutorials, some of the learning materials, and access to the College Learning Resource Centre. As a student at LSST, you also have reading rights to LSST. We firmly believe that LSST gives you access to quality and relevant learning experience at a price that represents excellent value for money. We also believe that you will be able to judge the returns on your investment through your improved career prospects.

Our course leaders arrange for the industry to set and assess real-life briefs, helping students understand how to succeed in business – without compromising creativity or integrity. Our College has strong links with the broader community. We run a busy national and international program of visiting artists, exhibitions, public events, and partnership activities.
