In short

Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) is the art, design, architecture, history of art and music college of the University of Edinburgh, based on Lauriston Place in Edinburgh's Old Town. It was founded in 1906 and merged with the University of Edinburgh in 2011. Its School of Design teaches fashion among other subjects, and since the 2025-26 academic year an MA Craft has covered ceramics, glass, jewellery, silversmithing and textiles, using the college's glass and jewellery and silversmithing workshops. The BA (Hons) Jewellery and Silversmithing is no longer open to new applications.
