Welcome to Goldsmiths

Founded in 1891, Goldsmiths has been part of the University of London since 1904. Fifteen academic departments - together with smaller centres and units - interact to provide a unique approach to creative, cognitive, cultural and social subjects.

We offer undergraduate, postgraduate, part time, professional and adult education programmes in a wide range of subjects including the creative and performing arts, humanities, teacher training and social and computing sciences. With students from all round the world, and a high proportion of mature students, the College has a lively single campus which makes it an especially welcoming place to work and to study.

Our location

Goldsmiths is in New Cross, South East London, with excellent transport connections to and from central London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Blackheath and Greenwich’s open spaces are also close by.

A lively and welcoming place to work

Goldsmiths has a unique atmosphere, partly created by the combination of subjects, and partly by the diverse backgrounds and ages of the staff and students we attract. We have approximately 1,450 staff, including 330 academics, and about 570 visiting tutors (hourly paid teaching staff); many are highly respected practitioners in their specialist areas. We aim to be in the forefront of accredited staff development; we offer a range of opportunities to all staff including in-house training and development.

Facilities include the Rutherford Information Services Building bringing together library, IT and language learning in one building; a refectory and café; bank; nursery; Students' Union including a new shop and newly refurbished bar areas; sports facilities including a stunning new, fully air-conditioned fitness suite with 90 exercise stations, spinning bikes, and a dance studio offering a programme of classes.
