What if I'm interested in courses on different campuses?
We have lots of Open Days throughout the year, especially between September and December, so you can visit as many campuses as you like. However if this isn't possible for you, we'll try to answer any questions you may have about courses offered at our other campuses when you visit us.
As well as the opportunity to find out about a particular course, our Open Days will also give you the chance to get lots of general information about UCA as a whole.
