Welcome Alumni

We keep in touch with former students and help facilitate connections and information sharing within our alumni community:  

• Social Media: The Sotheby's Institute of Art Global Alumni LinkedIn and Facebook group are closed platforms where we encourage alumni to share their news, invitations and information directly with one another
• Alumni Update Form: Completing our Alumni Update Form ensures that we have your current contact details and professional information

Your support from Sotheby's Institute of Art does not stop upon graduation. From careers services to library access, we hope that you’ll continue to benefit from the Institute’s world-class facilities: 

• Careers Services: Alumni can access careers resources, including a job posting board, on our bespoke Careers Portal. Graduates who are hiring and other employers can also post job advertisements for Sotheby's Institute of Art students and graduates on the board at no costs. For further information about ongoing career services available to alumni, please contact the New York or London Careers Teams. 
• Library Access: Alumni can continue to access the Institute libraries’ print materials both in New York and London, by appointment. Contact the London Library or the New York Library to request an appointment.  
• Lifetime email: All MA alumni are eligible for an @sia.edu email address. To request an email account, please contact the IT Department with the subject line “Alumni Email Account Request” and your full name in the body of the email.  

• Complimentary transcripts: To request a copy of your academic transcript, please contact Alumni Relations with your name and details of your course, note that transcript requests may take up to three weeks to process. 

We are pleased to provide a range of discounted and complementary offers for our alumni*, both at Sotheby's Institute of Art and further afield. 

• Discounts on Sotheby's Institute of Art Courses:  Alumni receive a 20% discount on online professional courses, or a 15% discount on in-person professional courses. We are also happy to offer a 10% Friends and Family Discount on Professional Programmes to those referred by a graduate. Please contact our Professional Programmes Team to claim these discounts. (These discounts cannot be used with other promotions or early booking discounts.)
• Additional Offers (some of these are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis):
  • ArtTactic: Alumni receive a 15% discount off Analyst Pro memberships, on either monthly or annual plans.
  • Lund Humphries: Leading art press Lund Humphries has published a number of works by Sotheby's Institute of Art faculty, including our Hot Topics series, and makes their entire catalogue available to Sotheby's Institute of Art Alumni at 20% off the listing price.

*Sotheby's Institute of art alumni are those who have completed an MA, accredited Semester course, or the historic Works of Art course. We very much value our ongoing relationship with past students from all of our courses, who are part of our broader Sotheby’s Institute of Art family. Past students receive 10% off any future professional courses, either in-person or online, and are also invited to join our regular Online Masterclass series at no cost.  

To find out about these opportunities, as well as additional invitations and benefits, please join our Sotheby's Institute of Art Global Past Programme Participants Facebook group, or email alumni@sothebysinstitute.com.
