Required subjects for Automotive & Transport Design (with Integrated Foundation Year & Professional Practice Year) BA/BSc at University for the Creative Arts (UCA)

We consider the strength of our applicants’ portfolios as well as their grades and we therefore may make offers which are lower than our standard entry criteria of 112 tariff points. This may be to students who have faced difficulties that have affected their performance and who were expected to achieve higher results - in these cases, a strong portfolio is especially important. We regularly admit students with a tariff much higher than our standard 112 requirement, and applicants who show potential but aren’t quite at the stage to be able to succeed on the course are offered a 4 year degree with an integrated foundation year which has a standard entry requirement of 64 tariff points.

Never really got that involved in SU. Tried to run a club and it wasn't well supported. Organisation is never UCAs strong point. They have winter and spring markets where students can sell their art things which is pretty great. Canteen food is not fab. read more

Don’t waste your years going here. I went to uca in Epsom for the level 3 desploma ( A Levels). Honest to say these were some of the worst years of my life. I started in 2020 so in the beginning of Covid so you can’t blame them for that however I took Fashion business and retail. There were 8 people in my course at the beginning of the year by the end there was three ( I should have seen the red flags) when I returned for year two, it Turns out my teacher (year 1) left the uni during the summer as the course she had taught us the whole year wasn’t even a course! Meaning all the work we did first year was pointless and the exam board had to make us up a grade. To make things worse we were not informed about our course and the fact it didn’t exist until the day we returned for year 2 we were put onto a foundation course and had to choose a subject Within that. To sum it up worst uni so unorganised and F***** up my collage years so thanks UCA 🚩🚩🚩 read more

UCA is great for anyone wanting to get into the creative industries. There’s a good variety of courses to chose from. They offer some very specific courses you can’t find anywhere else. Some campuses have better facilities than are others. The WiFi, canteen and student union varies but none are bad - some are just better than others. All campuses have a very welcoming environment- they don’t feel snobby like other universities I visited ( I’m looking at you UAL! ). For me, it’s not all about the campus and facilities - the course and tuition matters too. This is where UCA is the best around. All of the tutors and technicians I’ve had have been great. You get taught by people actually working in the industry. Overall I’d say UCA is a great university and I would definitely recommend it. read more

Doing the foundation at Rochester was brilliant, felt really supported and encouraged, lots of emphasis on making, just a great environment, like a real art school. So, of course, it's being closed down now. Started my degree at the Canterbury campus and it's left a lot to be desired. The first year is good, amazing tutor, invested in you and your work. Second year is ridiculous. We have no portfolio. Everything is mixed up. Projects brief information is handed out in a weird, staggered fashion so you're constantly scrambling to get things done. Nothing has been done about the transphobia on campus. The tutors are treated so badly, and it's near impossible to get time with them which makes getting feedback difficult, for which you are marked down...it's endless. A lot of us are really unhappy. And the vice-chancellor is just a suit who doesn't care about students or staff - only money. I'd seriously recommend talking to some second or third year students before enrolling. read more

University for the Creative Arts (UCA)

The staff and on-site team is friendly however, there is little on-campus organised activity by the way of clubs or societies which was disappointing when joining the University for the first time. The campus is quite small, so there aren't many facilities for social gathering, and the University 'bar' is outdated and out of touch with the range of students that attend. In terms of social activities, there definitely needs to be more on offer to help students enjoy their uni experience, and key spaces (namely the bar) need updating and better advertisement for students. The terrace outside could be used more regularly, aswell as having designated and well designed outdoor tables and chairs for students to meet during breaks. The library + studios could also be open way later and available for students on weekends. Students should be encouraged more to mix between different courses and studios. read more
