Our alumni go on to develop successful portfolio careers, working as practising artists alongside work in the arts industries as curators, gallerists, tutors and in other related fields of practice such as design. The City & Guilds of London Art School network is strong and many of our alumni have gone on to work together to set up shared studios, galleries and projects such as the recent Dig Collective. The course is also an excellent preparation for further research and study at MPhil
