UCA International College (UCAIC) is run in partnership with the Holmes Education Group. It offers students from across the world the chance to study art, design, and business for the creative industries in the UK.

Based at our Epsom campus, UCAIC offers you the ability to immerse yourself in our creative community as the start to your 4 year undergraduate or 2 year postgraduate degree in creative arts, business or technology.

This year will allow you to improve your English language level and academic qualifications in order to progress with confidence throughout the remaining years of your degree.

We will support you throughout your application and your move to the UK, helping you settle into your new environment and meet fellow students. During your studies with UCAIC, you will be supported by our friendly and experienced staff, ensuring you have everything you need to help you achieve your goals.

Coming to UCAIC will give you the opportunity to be a part of our creative community that cares about your studies, your wellbeing and your success. You will have access to our specialist facilities and expert tutors, all in the inspiring surroundings of our Epsom campus.

By choosing an undergraduate or postgraduate degree at UCA, you’ll be able to collaborate with students on other creative courses, build a network of industry contacts and gain valuable work experience, preparing you for a career in the creative industries. Undergraduate and postgraduate courses with the option of the integrated first year for international students at UCAIC are available across our creative disciplines and campuses.

Each of the four campuses reflects a unique portfolio of specialist creative courses, with students having easy access to high-spec equipment and resources. Campus facilities across the four main sites include state-of-the-art photography studios, TV studios and a broadcast newsroom, a computer animated studio, a virtual reality lab, laser cutting facilities, first-class sewing and textiles equipment, and industry-standard production and editing software.

Students are encouraged to collaborate with each other from across a variety of disciplines, so you’ll learn a range of transferable skills during your time there.

All four campuses are located in inspiring green spaces within an hour’s train journey of central London, the heart of the UK’s creative industries. Students gain all the benefits of being close to the capital but living in one of the most well-connected, safe and beautiful regions in Europe.

Alumni include the creators of Rupert Bear, Peppa Pig and Where’s Wally?, fashion designer Zandra Rhodes, DBE RDI, as well as Turner Prize nominee Tracey Emin. There are also Oscar-winning filmmakers, BAFTA-winning directors and award-winning designers thrown into the creative mix.

The university has achieved the Gold award under the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) 2019.
