Why the University for the Creative Arts - Canterbury Campus?
- Location: Canterbury is an unexpectedly small city with a big student population – being home to three universities makes it a lively place, with no shortage of entertainment or good food. Canterbury has an eclectic mix of laid-back pubs, lively clubs and popular bars offering nights out to appeal to all tastes. It is also within easy reach of London, as well as the towns of Ashford, Maidstone and Rochester, for those that fancy exploring further afield.
- Industry Connections: Many graduates find that Canterbury offers a lot towards helping them carve a career in the arts. UCA has created exciting links within Kent's vibrant international art scene with festivals, grants, paid apprenticeships, studio spaces and internships available for art and design students and graduates in the area.
- Sport and Recreation: Adventure sports, dance and fitness, swimming, cycling, walks in the country - there are so many ways to get active in the Canterbury area. For a breath of fresh air, why not take a stroll in one of the city’s tranquil gardens. Or, for a heartier walk, head along the Crab and Winkle Way to Whitstable.
- Galleries and Exhibitions: UCA’s campus galleries host unique and varied exhibition programmes that enrich and engage the wider community as well as the network of creative individuals across the University. The Canterbury campus is home to the Herbert Read Gallery.

Cooperative education (or co-operative education) and internships are methods of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience. A cooperative education experience ("co-op"), provides academic credit for structured job experience. Co-ops are full-time, paid or unpaid positions. Internships may be full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid positions.
Post-Study Work Visa will be open to all students, on Tier 4 visas, who are accepted onto a course in the 2020 intake or later. Once you have successfully completed a course of study at the undergraduate level or above at an approved UK Higher Education Provider you would be able to stay and work (in any sector or at any level) for a maximum of two years.
The full details and requirements are yet to be announced by the UK Government, but will be updated here when made available.
