"There is such an amazing range of staff and tutors and the fact that everyone kind of came from different backgrounds makes it a richer experience. We had programmers, fine artists, engineers, it was an interesting kind of clash and combinations."

Lucy Hardcastle, Information Experience Design Graduate, Founder & Creative Director at Lucy Hardcastle Studio

"During my time at the RCA, I became aware of how much broader architecture can be in its role as a vehicle for change. The college was incredibly formative to me and plays a big part in the way that I operate now as a designer and as an architect. The multi-disciplinary spirit at Heatherwick studio often reminds me of the RCA."

Andre Kong, Architecture graduate, Associate & Project Leader at Heatherwick Studio

"The most important thing I learnt at the RCA was to always be curious, to keep learning everyday and most of all to enjoy what you do and have fun along the way. The RCA spirit is about believing there is no limit to possibilities."

Annabella Chan, Jewellery & Metal graduate, Director & Designer at Anabela Chan Joailleries

"Being at the RCA is a journey, finding out who you are as an artist. Working with tutors and visiting lectures you are introduced to different pathways, inspired to work in different ways and challenged on how you can use your knowledge and skills. As an independent filmmaker what I acquired from RCA has given me confidence and confirmation in what I can achieve in my career going forward."
