Dream. Discover. Disrupt. | University for the Creative Arts

Welcome to UCA

At UCA, we’re all about helping creatives turn their passion into skills and careers.

We're smaller than some other universities, and small can unlock big opportunities.

With an abundance of specialist facilities to experiment in and a close-knit community of creatives by your side, with us you’ll be sure to find your voice, your people, and all the inspiration you need.
