Who we are

Every single one of the 10,000 students at Goldsmiths, University of

academic, social, political, environmental and economic.


We are completely independent of Goldsmiths, University of London; similar

name, but different objectives, different staff, different charity number,

different leadership, different Board of Trustees.
