Print at the RCA is concerned with the rich cultural legacies of printed matter and how technically mediated images reshape our world. Our approach to print is expansive and innovative, reflecting the centrality of print within contemporary art and culture. Print is explored through making, engaging with archives and global media, and methods of presentation and publishing.

We welcome applicants from a diverse and broad range of backgrounds and art practices. We aim to foster your unique potential and help you thrive within a supportive environment.

Through workshops, artist’s talks, seminars and tutorials we help develop your skills in making, discussing and disseminating work.

Our position within this internationally renowned art school, and our unique London setting, provides a critical backdrop to explore the traditions and future potential of print.

Entry Requirements

Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process considers 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’re expected to have completed a BA degree. In recent years, students have come from fine art, printmaking, painting, sculpture, photo media, conservation, illustration, design, textiles, architecture and interactive arts courses. While many students enter the course after years of independent work, we also accept students directly from undergraduate courses.

We are looking for candidates who are excited about the potential of engaging with the College-wide peer group, and making the most of the educational opportunities the Programme offers. You may not have made prints before but should have a keen interest in the nature of the multiplied image and the desire to investigate the ideas we engage with.
