Lead College: Goldsmiths

Goldsmiths is all about the freedom to experiment, to think differently, to be an individual. Founded in 1891, the College brings creative and unconventional approaches to all of its subjects, always based on the highest academic standards of teaching and research. From undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to part-time and professional courses, Goldsmiths has an excellent range of innovative study opportunities, with the visual and performing arts departments being especially renowned. No fewer than five of its graduates, including Damien Hirst, have gone on to win the prestigious Turner Prize.

The Department of English and Comparative Literature (external link) contributes significantly to the cultural 'buzz' that characterises Goldsmiths. It draws on the energies and high standards of some 30 staff who combine a core of modern specialisms with coverage of literature down the centuries. This gives you an opportunity to explore a wide range of study areas - from traditional to contemporary - to suit your emerging interests.
