About the course
Explore the possibilities and perspectives of ceramics and glass.
The spirit of Ceramics & Glass at the RCA springs from a belief in the transformative power of material thinking, research and making to enable a new generation of artists and designers to enrich our world in imaginative and meaningful ways. Core to our philosophy is an exploration of how we can make ideas manifest through a tacit exploration of active materials and the generative potential of process.
Entry Requirements
Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process will consider creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall.
You should have a good undergraduate degree in Ceramics or Glass or equivalent professional experience. Applications are welcomed from candidates from related backgrounds, for example, textiles, sculpture, architecture and industrial design. Work experience, either before or after a first degree, is a great advantage.

Student Profile
Kaja Upelj

Nationality: Slovenia
The RCA gives me freedom, space, support and best technical advices to create work at my best standard. It is not only a place for learning but also making long lasting friendships with students as well tutors. I think anyone who is passionate about what they are doing should be encouraged to apply for the Royal College of Art. If you feel strongly about your work and materials, tutors notice the force that is pushing you towards new discoveries and will help you to achieve it. I believe anyone can bring something exciting to the RCA and can be inspiration for someone else.
