学校历史
1891年,City of London Livery Companies的Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths创立了金匠工艺和娱乐学院。从12世纪开始,金匠公司(The Goldsmiths' Company)成立了中世纪时期金匠,银匠和珠宝工艺师的同业公会,拥有如此长的工艺历史,金匠学院把这些工艺艺术列在重要的教育发展目标。 创校初期,The Livery Company致力于为工业、劳工和工匠阶级的工作者推广技能、知识、和健康的发展环境。大学校区位于新十字(New Cross),前身为皇家海军学校(其中Richard Hoggart Building由知名建筑师John Shaw Jr.设计),现为金匠学院的经典主体建筑大楼。
1904年,金匠工艺和娱乐学院并入伦敦大学,并改名为金匠学院。在当时金匠的教育学院是全英国规模最大,培育出许多教师。金匠学院也创立护校,培育护理人员。在并入伦敦大学没多久后,金匠学院在1907年于校园的本部大楼后方建盖新的艺术大楼(设计师为 Sir Reginald Blomfield)。在第二次世界大战期间,学校决定将所有师生移师到诺丁汉大学。1940年,学校的本部大楼被燃烧弹摧毁,一直到1947年才修复完工。1960年期间,金匠学院的学生人数剧增,在同时期,金匠的艺术和社会科学领域逐渐被学界重视,建立名声。由于学生人数增加,学校的本部大楼扩建,并新建许多新的教学大楼,如 The Lockwood Building、Whitehead Building、Education Building、Warmington Tower和St James's Hall来容纳这些新学员。1988年,金匠学院取得皇家特许状。2006年,金匠删除「学院」二字,改为目前的名称金匠·伦敦大学(Goldsmiths, University of London)过去曾担任金匠学院的校长包括Richard Hoggart、Professor Andrew Rutherford和Ben Pimlott。目前学校校长为Pat Loughrey。

大学概况University Profile
“What could you achieve with a Goldsmiths degree?” asks the university’s website beneath the imposing presence of Sir Antony Gormley’s Angel of the North.
With this one image and question, Goldsmiths lays its cards on the table as a crucible in which some of the greatest artistic and creative talents of the past 50 years have been forged. Go to Goldsmiths and make a mark.
To Gormley, you can add Damien Hirst, another artist at the top of his game, while it has been a good year for other alumni, too. In the past year, director Steve McQueen won the Best Picture Oscar for ’12 Years A Slave’, James Blake won the Mercury Prize for his album ‘Overgrown’, and Laure Prouvost was named winner of the Turner Prize, making her the seventh former Goldsmiths student to receive the award.
The next generation of creatives is studying at Goldsmiths right now. The £10,000 Goldsmiths Prize, launched in 2013, has cemented Goldsmiths' position in the field of creative writing - the subject is offered at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and former students have won awards including the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award and the Dylan Thomas Award, while two MA Creative & Life Writing graduates were named in Granta's 2013 Best of Young British Novelists list.
And Goldsmiths is keen to keep the production line flowing. It is expecting to increase the number of undergraduates it admits this year by more than a third compared with 2012, when the fees went up to £9,000.
But the increased recruitment is being made by the introduction of a range of new degrees including management and entrepreneurship; politics, philosophy and economics (PPE); and clinical psychology, alongside those courses that have given the college its stellar reputation in the arts. Another new degree is a BA in anthropology and visual practice, which looks at the subject alongside training in photography, video-making and editing.
Applications are back to the record levels seen in 2011 and more are making Goldsmiths their first choice. Recent art and design rankings have placed Goldsmiths in the world’s top 100 and the UK’s top 10, but the portfolio of courses spans the humanities, social sciences, cultural studies, computing, and entrepreneurial business and management.
More than half of the work submitted for the last Research Assessment Exercise was considered world-leading or internationally excellent. Indeed, it was among the top ten universities for the proportion of work (22%) placed in the highest category. Current projects include the UN-funded research into forensic architecture in places of conflict and a variety of studies into autism.
Goldsmiths is based on a single site campus in New Cross Gate, southeast London, that has a mixture of traditional and modern buildings, including a New Academic Building containing purpose-built media facilities (including radio and TV studios), the Ben Pimlott Building (with state-of-the-art research facilities and studio space for Art students), and the flagship Richard Hoggart Building which has been refurbished and re-landscaped to create a space for outdoor arts and events.
This refurbishment is part of a £6m programme of investment in the campus that also includes a new recording studio – giving music students the chance to record in a professional setting – and a new Fairtrade coffee shop and social learning space in the Library building.
Developments currently underway include creating an art gallery on campus, and transforming a 19th-century church into a space that will be used for teaching, exhibitions, performances and studios.
Determinedly integrated into its southeast London locality, the campus has a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Around a third of new undergraduates are 21 or over on entry with a strong representation from the area’s ethnic minorities, and there is a growing cohort of international students.
There are 7,300 full-time students and around 500 part-timers at Goldsmiths. About a third of students are from working class backgrounds but only 6% are from areas of low participation in higher education.
There are integrated work placements on many of their degrees, and Goldsmiths places great emphasis on equipping students with creative thinking skills and has introduced workshops to help students develop entrepreneurial skills.
Personal development opportunities include the Gold Award, encouraging students to develop the skills and experience that employers are looking for.
Student politics is alive and well at Goldsmiths, and there is a thriving music scene. A varied events programme includes music recitals, exhibitions, public lectures and readings.
The union has a strong tradition in volunteering and an award-winning newspaper/magazine, and in recent years have been winners of several Sound Impact Awards, in recognition of work on ethical and environmental issues.
There are around 1,200 rooms available in halls of residence, 900 of them in Goldsmiths halls within a 2-minute walk of the campus. Those further away are managed by a private provider. Priority for places is given to international students and new undergraduates from outside London.
There is a well-equipped and affordable gym on campus, but the sports pitches are 30 minutes away. Goldsmiths is about many things, and sport isn’t one of them.
学生观点Student view
Howard Littler, students’ union president
First impressions
The Ben Pimlott Building is the spitting image of the hat Princess Beatrice wore to the royal wedding in 2011.
Worst feature
A lot of students go home for the summer so campus gets lonely but being in London there will be plenty to keep you occupied.
Making a difference
We are an active student body, resulting in Goldsmiths being the first university in the country to allow a student on its remuneration committee.
Deal clincher
You get the benefits of London without the Bloomsbury price tags; there are markets, cafes and parks on your doorstep and transport links if you want to venture elsewhere.
