University of the Arts London has an array of partnerships with Canadian institutions. These range from advanced entry articulation agreements and student exchanges to collaborative art exhibitions. Each one of them forms an important part of UAL’s engagement with the creative and cultural industries in Canada, allowing our Alumni and Academics to contribute to a critical and constantly evolving dialogue.
Our Canadian Country Manager, Jess Gill (jess@ualcanada.ca), has extensive experience building our relationships with Canadian institutions specifically around recruitment partnerships and cultural events. We have collaborated with Art Toronto, Canadian International Fashion Film Festival (CANIFFF), DesignTO and Vancouver Fashion Week among others. If you would like to learn more about working with UAL in Canada please get in touch and we would be happy to speak with you.
Every year we welcome students from Canadian institutions onto a range of our courses across UAL. We have connections with a number of Art and Design institutions across Canada and are working to build ever closer links across a growing range of creative fields. Our current partnerships include Emily Carr University, George Brown College, OCAD University, Ryerson University and Seneca College.
If you are interested in academic partnerships or articulations in Canada, please contact our Global Engagement Office. Find more information on UAL Global.
