What our students say

Emily - Graphic Design BA (Hons)
"I honestly loved my time at UCA. It sounds like a cliché, but I felt like a name and not a number. My course leader, lecturers and tutors all took the time to get to know me and my year group. They knew each of our strengths and worked hard to get the very best out of us."

Promise - Illustration BA (Hons)
"Recently, as I was clearing my heinously jam-packed camera roll of uni pictures I didn’t need anymore, I came across some of the art I’d made at the beginning of my course in 2021. After I was done grimacing at my lack of technical skills, I could only marvel at how far my art has come since then, and how my personal style has really developed."

Lydia - Games Design BA (Hons)
"UCA definitely helped prepare me for the real world, and I don't think I would be where I am now without it... UCA taught me how to bounce back after mistakes, which is a very valuable commodity to have, and I will always be thankful for my time there."
