Our student’s studio practice is supported by a diverse programme of Professional Skills Lectures which are delivered to all 3 years. With up to 15 lectures a year, when students graduate, they will have had at least 45 specific lectures looking at all aspects of a professional creative practice in the Arts. This year we had talks from Root-Ed Zine (Publication), Harold Offeh (the Artist Commission), Tim Walker (Fashion Photographer), India Carpenter (Art Conservation), Mike Gaughan (Gallery Manager at the Serpentine Gallery), Post Grad talks by MA students studying at the Slade, Royal Academy and The Royal College of Art, Stephanie Dieckvoss (The Pricing of Art), and staff talks discussing their own practices, research and artistic journey’s  by Morgan Quaintance, JJ Chan, Alice Gale Feeney, Murat Adash and Frances Drayson,

We have provided additional research talks by KSA PHD students Mireille Fauchon and Matthew de Kersaint Giradeau aswell as a seperate Artist Talk programme and Practice Seminars. Students are supported further with specific employment and careers lectures focused around the creative CV, Freelancing, Networking, Application writing, Public Speaking and Presentation skills. We want all our students to feel equipped, ready and prepared by the time they leave the course to persue a career in the Arts.
