Slade School of Fine Art

The Slade School of Fine Art (informally "The Slade") is a world-renowned art school in London, and a department of University College London. It consistently ranks among the premier Art and Design educational institutions in the UK.

The school traces its roots back to 1868 when Felix Slade (1788–1868) bequeathed funds to establish three Chairs in Fine Art, to be based at Oxford University, Cambridge University and University College London, where six studentships were endowed. The Slade operates two studios, one for undergraduate students, the other for postgraduates only.
