Fashion Schools in the UK

48 schools · London, Glasgow, Leeds and more · Updated 31 October 2026

London alone is home to Central Saint Martins, London College of Fashion and the Royal College of Art, but strong courses run across the country, from Glasgow and Manchester to Nottingham, Leeds and Falmouth. Many UK schools are known for experimental, concept-led work and graduate shows that the industry watches closely.
