The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020 has named the University of Creative Arts (UCA) the best for for student satisfaction in the South East.

The renowned university guide revealed on Friday (September 20) that UCA, which has a campus in Epsom, was also the highest-ranked specialist arts university in the UK for the second year running.

The university placed sixth overall in the Guide's regional South East table.

Professor Bashir Makhoul, Vice-Chancellor at UCA, said:

"I am heartened that UCA’s quality of teaching, and the innovative work being done to establish UCA as a creative specialist is receiving the recognition it deserves.

"I am proud of our staff who make the University for the Creative Arts an outstanding, ambitious and dynamic place in which to teach our students, and am delighted that we are able to put UCA on the map as the No.1 provider of creative education in the UK — something we will continue to build upon in the coming year."

The listing in the anticipated university guide followed UCA’s recent success at the TEF (Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework Awards), where it won Gold for teaching excellence, the highest accolade possible.
