More than 770 Victory Ceremonies will take place in 29 different venues across the UK in 2012, watched by thousands of spectators in venues and a global television audience.
The students will be working on items including the podia, where athletes will receive their medals; costumes; flower holders; and medal trays.
Around 250 trays and 6,000 flower holders will be used in the Victory Ceremonies.
"We’re delighted to be working with one of the world’s best postgraduate art and design schools to enable these students to take up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Locog CEO Paul Deighton. "We look forward to seeing their proposals, then teaming them up with industry professionals to realise their designs which will be seen by a global audience at the greatest show on earth.’
Rector of the Royal College of Art Dr Paul Thompson, added: "It is a great honour that Locog are giving Royal College of Art postgraduate students the opportunity to contribute to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. With the enormous international appeal of the Games, this is an unparalleled opportunity to showcase British design education to a worldwide audience."
