About
University for the Creative Arts (UCA) is a specialist arts institution that is 100% creative. UCA students develop their skills and thinking in environments that replicate the studios found within the creative industries, alongside peers on courses spanning arts, business and technology. UCA is the 2nd largest provider of creative education in Europe, and their innovative Business School for the Creative Industries is the first of its kind in the UK!
Oscar-winning film makers and animators, world-renowned fashion designers, television presenters and Turner-Prize nominees are just some of UCA's high-profile graduates who have enriched the world with their creative talents. Taught and guided by experienced, industry-connected academic staff, UCA’s students reap the benefits of studying at the highest-ranked creative specialist in the UK.
Why the University for the Creative Arts - Farnham Campus?
- Facilities: The Farnham campus has an extensive range of up-to-date resources for students to use, including glassblowing furnaces, radio and TV studios, a cinema, dark rooms and metal and wood workshops.
- Career Opportunities: Students before and after graduating have completed work experience with big names like Harry Potter, Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie and Corpse Bride, Simon’s Cat and others. Students and graduates have achieved great success far and wide, from winning Oscars and BAFTAs to meeting Stephen Hawking.
- Galleries and Exhibitions: The Farnham campus is home to the James Hockey and Foyer Galleries which host a range of exhibitions by visiting artists as well as UCA’s own staff, students and graduates. Farnham also features the Centre for Sustainable Design and the Crafts Study Centre, which is a purpose-built museum and gallery dedicated to crafts. These galleries enrich and engage the wider community as well as the network of creative individuals across the University.
- Location: From the campus, students can stroll 5 minutes into Farnham and discover what the beautiful town has to offer. It’s a pretty Georgian market town with quaint cobbled streets, a variety of independent shops and a rich arts scene, all nestled in the beautiful Surrey countryside. The town also benefits from being right next to Bourne Woods – the backdrop of many blockbuster films such as Thor, Harry Potter, Avengers, Gladiator and many more.

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.
