Campus Tours

If you want to visit one of our campuses but aren't able to make it to an Open Day you be interested in one of our guided campus tours.

Led by a UCA student ambassador, a current student who has unique insight into life at UCA, our one-hour tours take place every Friday at 1pm or 2:30pm.

Come armed with questions as our ambassadors will be happy to answer them! If you have applied to study at UCA you will get a chance to tour our campus on your applicant day. Further details can be found in the applicant portal.
