Edinburgh College of Art has always been a place of experimentation and collaboration, celebrated for enabling students from different disciplines to work alongside and with each other, and for creating strong linkages with other institutions. We want to be known globally for excellence in our subject areas and the opportunities we give our students to collaborate and innovate across them, and with the wider University of Edinburgh community, of which we are proud to be a part.We will continue to celebrate diversity and creativity, which makes our College a very inclusive and distinctive place to work and study.In 2011, ECA formally merged with the University of Edinburgh, bringing together all five subject areas: architecture and landscape architecture; art; history of art; design; and music.
