About UCA
Postgraduate study at UCA offers an opportunity to hone your skills – your way. The university is made up of three vibrant campuses based in Canterbury, Epsom, and Farnham, each with distinct creative atmospheres and a unique set of subjects to choose from.
You’ll find these to be idyllic locations to inspire your creativity – whether you seek the bustling historic city life that Canterbury can offer, Epsom’s friendly town atmosphere with natural spaces close-by, or the quaint and cosy surroundings found in the market town of Farnham.
Our courses span the creative arts, business, and technology sectors, taught by practising industry experts who bring a variety of experience from the creative industries. And no matter which subject you choose, you’ll be encouraged to experiment and collaborate with other disciplines, so that you can fully explore your creative ideas.
Dedicated facilities
With UCA being the second largest creative specialist university in the whole of Europe, our campuses are packed full of high-tech and industry-standard equipment. From virtual reality and games testing areas, to kilns, looms, architecture studios, and much more, our range of creative resources will allow you to develop your project in any way you can imagine.
And we offer regular campus tour visits, so that you can experience our creative environments for yourself.
Join a friendly community of creators
The creative community at UCA is like no other. We welcome postgraduate students from the UK and across the world, who come together with a shared passion for making. And the close-knit environment of tutors and students helps to foster collaboration.
Whether you’re a craft student working with photography to document your creations, or a business student looking to learn more about visual communications, the opportunity to work with other creatives and access all our specialist facilities can widely expand your creative outlook.
Carving creative futures
With our academic staff being experts in their fields, their continued connection to the creative industries keeps their teaching and the course syllabus relevant to the newest skills emerging in the industry.
