University for the Creative Arts

All of our undergraduate courses are 100% creative. As the No.1 specialist arts institution in the UK (The Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019), we provide dedicated arts teaching and facilities in a creative environment.

We offer 14 distinct subject areas in creative arts, business and technology across four campuses in South East England – Farnham, Epsom, Canterbury and Rochester. Each campus has a unique yet equally creative and collaborative atmosphere, as well as industry-standard facilities and expert teaching staff who are active practitioners in their fields.

Our Business School for the Creative Industries, located at our Epsom campus, is the first of its kind in the UK. We also have a specialist Television Production facility at Maidstone Television Studios – the largest independent TV studio facility in the UK, and a dedicated Hand Embroidery studio at The Royal School of Needlework, based in the beautiful Hampton Court Palace.

When you embark on a creative education degree at UCA, you can benefit from strong industry links in all sectors. Work placement opportunities and live project briefs allow you to gain valuable experience and build a network of employer connections, helping you springboard into your dream creative career.
