Applicant Days
“Our Applicant Days have been especially designed to help you discover more about the course, campus and student experience.” Sarah Simms Head of Admissions
Your Applicant Day is an opportunity for you to showcase your talent in a relaxed environment and for us to answer any questions you have about your course as we get to know you. If you live in the UK, for most of our courses we’ll invite you to an Applicant Day which may include an interview, portfolio review or audition. Usually, you’ll have a chance to meet with current students and lecturers to find out more about the course and meet with the Admissions Tutor who will discuss your work, interests and academic background with you. We’ll encourage you to ask lots of questions and satisfy yourself that UCA is the right choice for your career aspirations. We’ll email you when your Applicant Day has been scheduled, to confirm the date and time with you. The email will also include your Applicant Day Guide, which will include information about how to get to UCA, what you’ll need to bring with you, and where to register when you arrive. You will also be able to see the information about your Applicant Day in our Applicant Portal.

In most cases, you’ll be offered a guided tour of the campus and will have the opportunity to meet our Student Ambassadors, who will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about life at UCA. You’re welcome to bring along parents, guardians or other companions, who can also join the campus tour – however, interviews are restricted to applicants only.
We schedule most of our Applicant Days for both mornings and afternoons, and the majority of our Applicant Days take place between December and March. If you live outside of the UK or can’t attend your Applicant Day, we’ll ask you to submit a portfolio of work using our online portfolio upload task – you can access this via our Applicant Portal.
