“Goldsmiths is provocative, it’s about a community that encourages creativity and freedom of thought. We challenge conventions but it’s not about irrationally and erratically pushing boundaries. It’s a place to be heard and initiate change.”
Jane Taylor, undergraduate student

The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths set up its Technical and Recreative Institute in 1891 to provide educational opportunities for the people of New Cross. The University of London acquired the new Institute and re-established it as Goldsmiths College in 1904. Since 1989, Goldsmiths has been a full College of the University with its own distinctive role as an independent university institution, at the same time committed to its membership of one of the world’s great academic federations.
