About
History
KLC School of Design was founded in 1982 by Principal, Jenny Gibbs OBE and has built up an excellent reputation both nationally and internationally for quality design education with a focus on preparing students for direct employment in the industry once they graduate.
Education
At KLC we put our students at the heart of everything we do. Our culture of caring is applied not only to how we teach but how we address urgent issues that affect us all, encouraging students to reflect on how they as designers can impact the environment, communities and each other.
Our innovative, career focused courses are firmly grounded within the industry although the realities of practice are never at the cost of cultivating our students’ creativity.
We promote collaboration, experimentation and fearless exploration to the point that our graduates become sought after employees and designers who will continue to push the industry forward in the ever-changing professional landscape.Career
KLC offers a long-established and proactive careers service, which is an integral part of the outcomes from studying at KLC. The end goal of our training is to secure work in the industry for our graduates and we actively facilitate this.
Throughout the course, students are educated on CV preparation, portfolio presentation and professional practice with all alumni having access to our very busy KLC Online Jobs Board.
Students are offered multiple 1-2-1 career sessions throughout their course and on graduation, KLC helps graduates find internships, job placements and freelance appointments. Great care is taken to match the student's aspirations and abilities with a suitable design practice wherever possible.Global Student Satisfaction Awards 2019
