LASALLE College of the Arts (informally LASALLE) is a non-profit and private arts institution in Singapore. Founded in 1984, LASALLE boasts eight art and design schools that offer more than 30 diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in contemporary arts and design education. LASALLE’s bachelor’s and master’s degrees are validated by Goldsmiths College, University of London, one of the top universities in the world for Arts and Humanities.
Many leaders in the Singapore arts scene are linked to LASALLE, including Alan Oei as artistic director of The Substation and Eugene Tan as director of the National Gallery Singapore.
LASALLE is Singapore’s first local homegrown institution to be awarded the EduTrust Star, a certification that acknowledges LASALLE’s “quality education services”. It was also awarded the Green Mark Gold Award by the Building and Construction Authority, for its contribution to sustainability and environment awareness in the development of the McNally campus.
LASALLE’s main campus, known as the McNally Campus, occupies a one-hectare site in the Rochor area of Singapore. Its second campus, Winstedt Campus, is located near the Newton area.
LASALLE moved to its new home in the heart of Singapore in June 2007. Located in the Rochor area, bounded by Prinsep Street, Short Street, and Albert Street, the new City Campus sits on a one-hectare site, which is part of the area designated as the Arts, Design, Culture, Learning and Entertainment hub of Singapore.
The Winstedt campus is a new space designed as a comprehensive creative centre for studio work and research. With 4,357m2 of floor space, there are studios, workshops, state-of-the-art photography labs, a media arts lab, and student-led incubators.
LASALLE is a partner institution of Goldsmiths, University of London, renowned for having a creative and innovative approach to arts teaching and research. Goldsmiths has approved LASALLE as an appropriate tertiary institution in Singapore to offer degree programmes leading to Goldsmiths’ validated awards.
