The soon-to-open Gemological Institute of America (GIA) campus in London is now enrolling students for classes beginning in August 2026. The new GIA School of Gemology and Jewelry Arts campus in London’s Canary Wharf will place GIA students in one of the world’s most influential centres for luxury and business.
Pritesh Patel, President & CEO, GIA, said, “Our new London campus will allow us to further advance our mission to ensure confidence in gems and jewellery by making education more globally accessible and offering the highest quality gem and jewellery education.”
The new London campus in the iconic Canary Wharf district will offer increased capacity and, for the first time in London, the GIA Jewelry Design & Technology program. The campus will be conveniently located near transport, cultural and social attractions. Historically, enrolment at GIA’s London campus has included students from more than 50 countries with unique and diverse backgrounds.
Mehdi Saadian, Education Director, GIA U.K., added, “GIA students will experience a new, modern and centrally located campus. London’s Canary Wharf is a hub for high-end retail, providing students with a valuable real-world setting for observing modern jewellery merchandising and trends.”
GIA’s London school was established in 2002, providing education in gemmology and jewellery design. The school is accredited by the British Accreditation Council (BAC) and Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).
