It's not too late to apply to study Architecture at the University for the Creative Arts this September.
Accommodation places still available in Canterbury.
Our architecture degree has its origins in an art school. This means it’s a very hands-on course, with lots of practical learning and opportunities to directly apply your newly acquired skills.
One of our key focuses is on how design decisions impact on individuals, sustainability and climate. So you will always have an activists’ approach, looking for ways to design for good.
The 2025 Times/Sunday Times University Guide ranked UCA 2nd for student experience and 3rd for teaching quality for Architecture in the UK.
Our Architecture degrees offer the option of an integrated foundation year, providing an alternative pathway to university study for students who may not meet the standard entry requirements.
With our close-knit community of creatives by your side, at UCA you’ll be sure to find your voice, your people, and all the inspiration you need.
Being a UCA student means you can make use of workshops and studios across all of our campuses, even ones not directly related to your course. This allows you to expand your skillset and explore your creativity.
Many of our degrees are offered with an integrated work placement year, allowing you to gain real-world experience in the creative industries that will further develop your skills and CV.
You're never alone at UCA - whether it's help settling in, assistance with your studies, counselling or even advice on your finances, our student support services, the Students’ Union, your lecturers and your classmates will always be there to support you.
Each year, we’re privileged to be able to share our graduates’ incredible work with the world. And now’s your chance to take a look.
