NCUK Launches New Partnership with University for the Creative Arts

NCUK has partnered with University for the Creative Arts (UCA), creating new opportunities for international students seeking a future in the creative industries.

Through this partnership, students who successfully complete the NCUK International Foundation Year (IFY) at University Foundation College (UFC), the only NCUK Study Centre in Qatar, can progress to bachelor’s degree programmes at University for the Creative Arts (UCA), subject to meeting the university’s entry requirements.
