Fine Art MA (Canterbury campus)

PG minimum (UCAS PG entry for UCA): 2:2 UK honours degree or international equivalent, or a degree-equivalent postgraduate diploma/professional qualification; RPL considered for applicants over 21 with substantive relevant experience. CONFLICT PRESERVED: several UCA course pages instead state 'a good honours degree (normally 2:1 or above)' or 'good honours in a related discipline' - confirm the classification for this specific course before advising. Separate Canterbury listing in UCA A-Z. Portfolio: max 6 examples of work (max 30MB total) via the applicant portal, plus personal statement and one reference (UCAS PG entry for UCA). PAKISTAN (official UCA Pakistan page, uca.ac.uk/international/countries/pakistan, checked 25 Oct 2026): Master's entry usually requires a 4-year Bachelor's degree from a recognised university at 50% overall/GPA 2.6, OR a Master's degree from a recognised university. Each application is considered individually and the figures are a guide - confirm with internationaladmissions@uca.ac.uk. Do NOT quote the aggregator 55% PG figure for Pakistan; the official Pakistan page figure is 50%/GPA 2.6. PAKISTAN DEPOSIT-BEFORE-CAS (official UCA 'How to pay' page): Pakistan is listed as a priority-financial-oversight country with no in-country UCA resource, so the CAS deposit is 50% of first-year tuition (not a flat £ amount); to retain any scholarship the remaining 50% must be paid by the end of the enrolment period. No CAS is issued until the deposit is paid. SPONSOR-LICENCE NOTE - VERIFY BEFORE ADVISING (third-party reports only, NOT an official UCA or Home Office page checked here): reports on the 9 Oct 2026 sponsor register (pakera.pk; panatlantickompass.com, Oct 2026) list UCA as 'Subject To Action Plan' - i.e. under increased UKVI oversight, NOT suspended and still able to sponsor students, but with tighter checks expected on funds, study gaps and English. Confirm UCA's current sponsor status on the official Home Office register before submitting any Pakistan application. Graduate Route (UCA Graduate Visa page): 2 years for UG/PG completers, 3 years for PhD, BUT applications on/after 1 Jan 2027 are reduced to 18 months for UG/PG (PhD still 3 years). September is the main intake; a January/February start exists for some PG/Pre-Masters routes under UCA's fee policy - confirm February availability for this specific course before promising it. Scholarships NOT deducted from the fee above (UCA Scholarships page / course pages): £4,500 first-year merit deduction and £3,000 automatic deduction are advertised for international applicants (criteria apply; two UCA scholarships cannot be combined); South Asian continuing students may receive £4,000/year on progression (2027/28 progression terms). Confirm eligibility for the applicant's intake before quoting any discount.
