The London Consortium is a multi-disciplinary graduate programme in Humanities and Cultural Studies. We are a collaboration between four of Londons most dynamic cultural and educational institutions: the Architectural Association, Birkbeck College (University of London), the Institute of Contemporary Art, and Tate.

The London Consortium is a multi-disciplinary graduate programme in Humanities and Cultural Studies. We are a collaboration between four of Londons most dynamic cultural and educational institutions: the Architectural Association, Birkbeck College (University of London), the Institute of Contemporary Art, and Tate.

Unlike most traditional courses, our students benefit from being taught and supervised by both internationally renowned academics and experienced cultural practitioners working within our constituent institutions. Our teaching faculty and supervisors are drawn from a diverse range of institutions and disciplines, and include architectural theorists and designers, specialists in art history and curatorial work, cinema critics and film-makers, historians, literary scholars, artists, political theorists and philosophers.

In addition we challenge and enable our students not just to work across academic disciplines, but to take their learning outside of the seminar rooms and lecture theatres. Our students are encouraged to make use of the resources of our collaborative institutions, developing ideas for projects through which the Consortium and its institutions can together produce events and work that satisfies the Consortiums multi-disciplinary, cutting-edge, and challenging ambitions.

Our students graduate with a Master of Research degree or a PhD from the University of London.
