Lasalle College of the Arts, simply known as Lasalle, is a publicly-funded post-secondary arts institution in Singapore, and a constituent college of the University of the Arts Singapore (UAS) from 2024.[3][4]

Founded in 1984, Lasalle has eight art and design schools that offer more than 30 diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in contemporary arts and design education.[5] Lasalle's bachelor's and master's degrees are validated by Goldsmiths College, University of London.[6]

Many leaders in the Singapore arts scene are linked to Lasalle, including Alan Oei as artistic director of The Substation and Eugene Tan as director of the National Gallery Singapore.[7]
