Great to see our new first-year degree students arriving on campus for Welcome Week.

We are enrolling now - but it's not too late to get in on the action. There is still time to apply to join one of our degree courses either through UCAS Clearing (closes 19 October) or by applying direct to HCA.

Your art is your soul. Your art is your voice, your desire to make things, your ability to design things, your ability to shape the future, your enjoyment of shape and form, your enjoyment of your fellow human beings.

I’m always interested to hear why people have chosen to study the arts.

Art is your human right. Look, listen, make things. Art will transform your lives.

Maybe you're having second thoughts after results day. Maybe you're questioning whether your first choice is the best fit for you. Second thoughts are totally normal with big decisions.

At HCA we offer a truly individual centred approach to degree level education that is one of a kind.

We spoke to 4 of our graduating class of 2026, and asked them what studying at HCA gave them.

If this sounds like an environment that would suit your creative learning style, reach out to us at registry@hca.ac.uk or call us on 01432 273359 (opt.4) and we can guide you through the next steps.

Shining a light on the work of Rebecca Baddeley 💫

Mythology | Monsters | Feminism | Performance

Fine Art graduate @rebeccabaddeley_fineart creates work that challenges, surprises and starts conversations.

These projects, developed during her time at HCA and exhibited nationally, show what can happen when research, making and experimentation come together.

Thinking about starting a creative degree this September? It's not too late - If you're looking for a place to develop your own ideas, find your people and make work that's unapologetically yours, we'd love to hear from you.

Thanks, Rebecca, for letting us share your work.
