How do I apply?
We want you to feel confident throughout the application process. Find out how to apply for your chosen course with our guide to applying for an undergraduate course.
The UCAS deadline for entry in September 2026 is 14 January 2026 at 6pm (UK time).
Where would I study?
Our courses in creative computing and robotics are taught at our southeast London locations, 45-65 Peckham Road and Greencoat Building on Wilson Road.
Computer Science and Data Science and AI courses are taught at our site in High Holborn.
CCI students can access the workshops and facilities across our buildings as well as community digital creative space The Hub at Eagle Wharf.
Where would I live?
Ranked in the world's top 3 locations in the 2026 QS Best Student Cities list, it’s no wonder that thousands of students from across the globe choose to study in London.
With underground, train and bus systems spanning the city, you can live close to the campus your course is based in or live in another area and commute to class.
UAL has halls of residence across London and can also offer advice on privately-rented accommodation. Explore our accommodation options and find out about life in halls.
What equipment will I need?
All our courses are part of a computing curriculum, so computing is our primary tool/medium. Whilst advantageous to have your own computer, it is not a requirement as you can borrow a laptop at all CCI locations for use anywhere on that site. Desktop PCs are also available in open-access and technical areas.
You can find more details on the recommended kit list for CCI students on the CCI Wiki, as well as more information on CCI resources, buildings and technical workshops.
