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.
