Chelsea's interests and expertise lie in the following areas of contemporary art practice:

• fine art (new digital media, painting, sculpture, installation, performance, work for galleries and for specific sites);
• graphic design communication (a contemporary approach to graphics, including interactive web design);
• interior and spatial design (new architectural concepts, furniture and installations re-defining living spaces, refurbishment of existing buildings);
• textile design (for fashion, furnishings and new functional and environmental applications);
• research into the history and theory of visual and multimedia cultures (modernity, identity, materiality, the production and status of the arts, cultures of collecting, consumption of style, performativity, narratives of space and place, environmental and ethical agendas of making art and design).

At Chelsea, students are taught by teachers highly respected in the art world, such as artists Roger Ackling, Neil Cummings, Amanda Faulkner, David Musgrave, and designers Rebecca Early, Dave Beech and Hayley Newman.

Cheslea Space and The Triangle Gallery are on-site exhibition spaces showing work by students and professionals, which are open to the public.
