University of the Arts LondonBA (Hons) ArchitectureStudying at Central Saint Martins, UAL, has always been a dream of mine. Moving away from home and starting a new life in such a bustling city took some getting used to- but looking back now, as a final year, I wouldn't change a thing. After I graduate I plan on working in Brazil and Portugal before returning to the UK for my Masters (Part II RIBA). Adrianna

University of the Arts LondonBA (Hons) Textile DesignHey, I’m Belén! I’m originally from Spain and completed my Foundation Diploma in Paris in 2022. Currently, I’m a Textile Design student at Chelsea College of Arts, taking a sandwich year to complete a Diploma in Creative Computing at the UAL Creative Computing Institute before starting my third year. During my second year, I had the opportunity to go on exchange (back to Paris! 😊) and have also taken part in other exciting international opportunities through UAL. As an international student, I understand both the excitement and challenges of moving to a new country for university. From adapting to a new culture to navigating student life in London, I’ve learned a lot along the way. UAL has a welcoming and diverse community, and there are so many opportunities to connect with people from all over the world. If you’re feeling unsure about studying abroad or settling into London, I’d be happy to share my experiences and tips! I have a strong interest in the intersection of textiles, technology, and human behavior. My work explores how computational design, weave, and interactive systems can shape our perception of materials and environments. I’m also passionate about sustainability, design innovation, and the role of craft in a digital world. If you have any questions about studying at UAL, navigating a diploma year, being an international student at UAL or combining creative disciplines, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help! Any question is a good question!
