Study abroad at UCA

Inbound study abroad opportunities

Are you enrolled at one of UCA’s partner institutions and interested in joining a vibrant creative community to bring your ideas to life while gaining unforgettable experiences in the UK?

With our Exchange programme, you can study for a semester or a full academic year in an inspiring, hands-on environment designed to support your creative growth.

You will become part of a dynamic community where expert academics guide you using state-of-the-art facilities. Along the way, you’ll develop practical skills, expand your creative thinking, and gain valuable industry insight.

Beyond the studio, you will immerse yourself in UK culture, strengthen your English language skills, and build lasting connections with a diverse network of international students.

To qualify for an exchange place, you must be enrolled at one of our schools and nominated by your institution. If your nomination is successful, we will formally invite you to apply to UCA. 

There are two study abroad options: full year (September - May) or autumn semester (September - January). The nomination deadline is 15 March and the application deadline is 15 April.
