Ravensbourne University London is a public university on the Greenwich Peninsula in London, England. It is classified as a digital media and design university, with vocational courses in fashion, television and broadcasting, interactive product design, architecture and environment design, graphic design, animation, and music production for media and sound design.
Ravensbourne University London was established in 1962 by the amalgamation of Bromley School of Art, Sidcup School of Art and Beckenham School of Art. It was originally at Bromley Common and later at Chislehurst and on the Greenwich Peninsula in Inner London, where it opened a new campus in autumn 2010. The college is named after the River Ravensbourne, which flows from Bromley Common to Greenwich.[4] Initially established as a institution providing higher-level courses in art and design, it was given university status in 2018.
