Edinburgh College of Art

Edinburgh College of Art has an international reputation as one of the most successful independent art colleges in the UK. We have won that reputation by offering the highest quality of experience for our students, and by providing a learning environment, which is both supportive and challenging. eca is known for its creativity, its co-operative atmosphere and its people; one recent graduate described the College as ‘an ideas factory’. Our facilities are excellent, but the ideas which continually drive and refresh our education are even more important. Our staff are practising artists, designers, architects, curators and writers, many with international reputations. eca graduates move into an extraordinarily wide range of careers and make a real contribution to the social, cultural and economic life of Scotland, the UK, and many other countries. Added to this, under a new arrangement, eca degrees are validated and awarded by the University of Edinburgh, internationally recognised as a leading academic institution.
