There are rather a lot of famous alumni given that it's not been around for long! Does anyone know who went to which component? Timrollpickering 21:13, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
Actually, the University College for the Creative Arts, through its various predessessor institutions (the Surrey and Kent institutes were themselves created by mergers of existing art colleges), can boast a long, sprawling history of specialist art and design education. The listed alumni included thus far are, I understand, applicable to the former institutions which 'UCREATIVE' is comprised of, and not 'UCREATIVE' in and of itself. As for which areas of the College to which various practitioners pertain, I would like to think that a foray through the individual artist and college hyperlinks would flesh in many of those such details.

From recollection, the sign at the Epsom site at least just says University College for the Creative Arts and not University College for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone and Rochester. Whilst the logo and use is a bit ambiguous on the website, what evidence is there that the extremely long phrase is the institution's official title? The change in location for this page and all the links has been made rather quickly. Timrollpickering 22:23, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
The University calls itself University for the Creative Arts, see [1], from 08 September 2008. Richard Pinch ( talk) 20:03, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
By a series of 6 edits on May 31st, 2011 user 93.96.164.99
User_talk:93.96.164.99 put two verbose political strings into this article setting out a strong lament of higher education funding and student finances potentially breaching wikipedia policy, neutral point of view?
WP:NPOV. To such an extent it sounds as if the editor would refer to the national student finance campaign everywhere on this subject in such terms, see (
WP:N) and (
WP:NOT). Replacement of higher education facilities in Maidstone seems likely in any event.
I am interested in other users' perspectives on this and in the meantime have removed the reference to the maximum UK teaching charge which the college does not charge and balanced in the history the celebrity and commerciality achieved by many alumni.

At least one major contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{ request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.
Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation."

Hello. I work as part of the web team at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA), and would very much appreciate your help improving our Wikipedia page for users.
1. Change the opening line:
From: "The University for the Creative Arts (UCA) is a specialist art and design university in the south of England." To: "The University for the Creative Arts(UCA) is a specialist art and design university based in Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham and Rochester, in the south of England, United Kingdom."
This provides additional/more detailed information to the user, highlighting the various locations/campuses across the south of England.
2. Remove the Coordinates (geo tag) 51° 12′ 59″ N, 0° 48′ 19″ W
UCA is based across several locations/campuses across the south East of England (not specifically Farnham - as shown by the geo tag).
Thank you very much.
"Coordinates of Farnham campus, as that's the registered office, even if it's not very central."If these coordinates are removed, the change would likely be brief — as the article would automatically be tagged for re-inclusion by another editor down the line.

Hello.
I had an edit request declined recently, but I failed to provide one of the primary reason why I made the request, so I am including additional information for consideration.
I work as part of the web team at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA).
My two requests below, both relate to the fact that the university is located across two counties (Surrey and Kent), and not focussed on just Farnham, Surrey.
Information from Wikipedia appears to display on local SEO Google searches. We would like to expand the information shown in the opening line of text. And we also wonder whether the Wikipedia geo tag is throwing off our search results (please see the following link, which is a search for UCA Rochester - which brings up information relating to UCA Farnham). https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=uca+rochester&oq=uca+rochester&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j0l4.4701j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
(As we are based over two counties, we wonder why we need a geo tag, as this draws focus on just our Surrey location, at the expense of our two Kent campuses).
1. Change the opening line:
From: "The University for the Creative Arts (UCA) is a specialist art and design university in the south of England." To: "The University for the Creative Arts(UCA) is a specialist art and design university based in Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham and Rochester, in the south of England, United Kingdom."
2. Remove the Coordinates (geo tag) 51° 12′ 59″ N, 0° 48′ 19″ W
Thank you for your help with this.

Deleted geotag. Regarding search results, this is an answer which first should be sought from the seach engine provider. Regards,

It seems that this school was formed in 2005 (at least, that's what our article says). So it is really not very likely that people like Richard Rogers, Tracey Emin and Zandra Rhodes are alumni – presumably they attended one or other of the various art schools that were merged to make this. When the same situation arose at Central Saint Martins I spent several days sorting it out by hand, assigning each person to the category for the school they actually attended (which was, in almost every case, not CSM). Alumnus lists are supposed to be referenced; what I suggest here is the we remove the whole list, and add back only those that have at least one reliable source which states that they attended this specific institution. Thoughts? Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 19:45, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Removed And I'm thinking the "former academic" section too. I'm not too sure what that means "former academics", is it like former employees? In that case it would seem to violate #7 under
