Facilities

The Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design's facilities were created with the ambitions of the College and our students in mind, to inspire creative and academic brilliance. 

The College is recognised throughout the world as a centre of educational excellence – a place where a new generation of the fashion industry’s best marketeers, PRs, stylists, editors, publishers and journalists have started their careers. The College has achieved this by putting cutting-edge, student-centred, “anywhere, anytime” learning at its heart. In order to be sure that our students derive maximum benefit from the unique insight they will receive into the fashion industry, the College has adopted a personalised and highly flexible approach to learning.

The Campus

Condé Nast College is situated in a historic building at Bedford Square, in Central London.

The area was built between 1775 and 1783 and is one of the best preserved set pieces of Georgian architecture in London.

The square has had many illustrious residents including Lord Eldon, one of Britain’s longest-serving and most celebrated Lord Chancellors, who lived in the largest house in the square for many years. Other famous residents include the second Duke of Devonshire; William Butterfield, an architect; and H H Asquith, a former Prime Minister.

The square takes its name from the main title of the Russell family, the Dukes of Bedford, who owned much of the land in what is now Bloomsbury.

Bedford Square is in the heart of Bloomsbury, an exciting area for academia and the arts; originally made famous by Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Set.

The College is a short walk from the headquarters of Condé Nast, which our students visit as part of their exposure to the professional world.

Campus Accessibility

Condé Nast College London is located in a historic Georgian building at Bedford Square in Central London. Our campus comprises a Grade I listed building dating to the late 18th Century which is currently not fully accessible to wheelchair users. We are committed to improving the accessibility of our premises, and we appreciate your patience and understanding while we work toward this important goal. Some teaching activities may take place at other venues in central London, which have varying levels of accessibility. If you have specific questions about the accessibility of our campus, either as a visitor or prospective student, please do not hesitate to contact us at admissions@condeanstcollege.ac.uk 

The Learning Environment

Our courses are based on practical methods, not just theory. Teaching is intensive and supportive, combining a high proportion of face-to-face sessions with the latest online learning facilities. This unique approach enables tutors to monitor students’ progress regularly and to deliver constant vital feedback. Students also gain valuable, practical experience by delivering visual presentations. The ethos of the College is to equip students with the knowledge and skills appropriate to a wide range of careers in the fashion industry or to prepare them for further study in relevant fields.

The College’s central London location also means they are close to many important public libraries and museums including the British Library, the National Art Library at the V&A, the Design Museum, Westminster Reference Library, Tate Library and archive reading rooms.
