Methods of teaching and learning in the UK may differ from those in your own country and the University for the Creative Arts encourage students to think creatively and to produce personalised, original and individual solutions to assignments. This means that there is not always a 'right' or a 'wrong' way to answer a set assignment.
The University for the Creative Arts is committed to helping students achieve to the highest level of which they are capable. Students will have the opportunity to update and improve academic English skills, through attending English Language support classes and tutorials, with staff specialising in the theoretical aspects of the course, will also help you develop your English Language ability.
If you have come from an educational background that is more structured towards direct instruction, you may find the UK learning methods challenging at first. Help and guidance is available to support you with your academic progress and the University offer students English Language classes, which are tailored to meet the course requirements at each stage of your study at UCA.
University accommodation ranges from on campus halls of residence to University managed flats and houses. All accommodation is self-catering and the majority is in single study bedrooms and international students are guaranteed a place in UCA managed accommodation.
The University of Creative Arts has campuses in Canterbury, Maidstone and Rochester, which are located in Kent which is about an hour south east of London, and Epson and Farnham in Surrey about a hour west of London. Both are within an hour of international airports.
I sincerely thank SI-UK for getting me accepted to UCL. The MSc in Urban Development and Planning is extremely competitive, but the right guidance provided by SI-UK made my dream of studying at University College London a reality. The services were exceptional from beginning to end.
