University guide for parents, guardians, caregivers and other supporters


Setting sail for university life is a big step, and not just for our students. If you're a parent, guardian or caregiver, you probably have a few questions about what life and studying at UCA is like.

We're a close-knit community and the welfare of our students is as important to us as nurturing talent, academic attainment and gaining the skills and networks to be able to successfully carve out a career in the creative industries.

Below are some resources that will help to answer your questions and help you support your loved ones as they embark on university life.
