Why go to an open day?  

When you attend an open day, you'll get a gut feeling about the university. Open days will help give you clarity if you're not sure what course to choose. You'll be able to visit different departments and chat with lecturers and other department staff, there are often subject talks too. You'll also get to speak to current students. They can tell you whether they're satisfied with the teaching, what the local nightlife is like, what the best halls of residence are – pretty much anything. Don't forget to look at the accommodation for yourself and make time to walk around the surrounding area to see if you like it.  

Where is it located?  

The university has four campuses located in Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham and Maidstone TV Studios. Each site caters to a specific area of study so there is no main campus as such. UCA Canterbury is known for its Film and Digital Art courses, UCA Epsom focuses on Fashion and Textiles, UCA Farnham is Fine Art and Craft and Maidstone offers courses in Television Production. Each site is accessible via public transport.  

In Farnham and Epsom in Surrey, and Canterbury in Kent, students work in a dynamic, sociable and collaborative environment, with inspiring surroundings and excellent industry connections.
