What access do CCI students have to other UAL technical resources?

UAL has a wide range of technical resources which are built to serve the learning outcomes of the courses in each college.

Access modes

There are three modes of access across the technical resources:

Open Access

You can access this at any time during the opening hours. You may need a safety induction. If you are unsure, please ask the local technicians.

Project Access

You can request access on a per person, per project basis, and subject to approval by the technicians who manage that resource, you may be able to use it.

To request access to these resources, please email cci.technical@arts.ac.uk and copy your course leader or supervisor, telling us:

  • What is your project about?
  • What facilities do you need access to?
  • In what way is this facility relevant to your study?
  • How much time do you think this might take?
  • Do you know how to use the equipment already, or will you need some help with this?

No Access

You have no access to this technical resource.

Additional access

UAL Diploma students at CCI

Students studying on a UAL Diploma sandwich year that have come from another UAL College or Institute continue to have access to the technical resources they had in the 2nd year of their Bachelor's degree.

For example, a BA Photography Student who has access to the B&W dark room and the Kit Room at London College of Communication would continue to have the same level of access to those spaces while on their diploma as when they were studying in that 2nd year.

When you return to complete your 3rd year, you continue to have access to the CCI technical resources and whatever resources your local team offers for 3rd-year students.

PhD students at CCI

All CCI PhD students have project access to all UAL technical resources and open access to CCI resources.
