UCL or RCA (Royal College of Art)?

Please give me some advice…

UCL Immersive Factual Storytelling (VR, 360 film, Sonic improvisation)
RCA Digital Direction (VR, Computer Arts, Experience Design, Sound Design)

I feel like it’s hard to give up either one because of the big names. Any advice will be helpful and appreciated

I feel this is a personal decision, so that nothing said by others should really change anything. Maybe think about your priorities with both and make an informed decision.
It depends if you want to do a postgrad or undergrad. You probably know but RCA is Postgrad only, so in that case I would say pick RCA! UCL offers many different courses so attending a uni specific in arts is good.

The name really won't affect your career that much, both are quite reputed (as is UAL, and Goldsmiths also has an excellent VR AR course). Have a look at the detailed course modules and see which one resonates most with you and is most compatible with your current experience and skill set. Also see which one gives you a scholarship or bursary.

Once the answers are clear, I'll see you at RCA soon :smile:
