@yinka_ilori is known for his bold use of bright colours, playful designs, and a beautiful marriage of his British-Nigerian influences and today for his honorary doctorate for outstanding contribution to art and design, which we awarded him earlier. In his acceptance speech, Yinka said: “For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamt of being an artist… If you told my younger self where I would be today, he wouldn’t believe you. That’s the incredible thing about dreams, they’re achievable if you work hard and believe in them.” #WeAreUCA #UCAGrad

Today we have awarded @jonathan.anderson an honorary doctorate for his outstanding contribution to fashion design. A designer with a curatorial approach to fashion making and brand building, Jonathan has earned both critical acclaim and commercial success with the collections he designs as the creative director of Spanish fashion house, @loewe and for his eponymous label, @jw_anderson. In his acceptance speech, Jonathan said: “Class of 2024, don’t get stuck in the mud! Be curious. There is nothing like being too curious. One cannot achieve anything without risk. Take risks. Take them with fear as much as joy. If you get burned, restart. Life is too short to stop and complain.” #WeAreUCA #UCAGrad

We asked some of our students what they wanted to be when they were younger and what course they’re graduating from today. Their answers are so wholesome. 🥹🫶 #WeAreUCA #UCAGRAD #UCAEpsom #UCAFarnham #UCACanterbury #graduation #graduate #graduation24
