University for the Creative Arts

University for the Creative Arts (UCA) was granted full university status in 2008 after a merger of a few historical art schools of over 160 years of history. Today the University has become one of the largest creative education providers in Europe. UCA graduates work extensively in the creative industries and many have achieved international acclaim. They include film director Gareth Edwards (director of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Jurassic World Rebirth), animation artist Mark Baker (creator of Peppa Pig), illustrator Martin Handford (creator of Where’s Wally?), jewellery designer Stephen Webster and fashion designer Karen Millen. More contemporary alumni include British film director Kate Herron (director of Netflix series Sex Education), as well as Taiwanese drag queen Nymphia Wind, who in 2020 won the RuPaul’s Drag Race!

University for the Creative Arts (UCA) has three main campuses located in cities in Surrey and Kent in the south of England. With London within reach of a 30- to 60-minute train ride, students enjoy the great exposure to exhibitions and galleries in London, but without the burden of London’s cost of living!
