Ciao e benvenuto all’UCA

As one of the largest specialist creative arts universities in Europe, we offer a truly global perspective in creative education, with 17 per cent of our students coming to study with us from overseas. We have a diverse international community that welcomes students from 91 nations from all over the world.

If you are applying for a full-time undergraduate course, you will need to apply through UCAS.

If you are applying for a pre-degree, part-time undergraduate or postgraduate course, you should apply directly to us using UCA’s online application form for your chosen course. If you are applying for postgraduate research you should apply directly to us using the research proposal form. You can find out more about our courses by taking a look at our Study at UCA page.
