Open College of The Arts

Open College of The Arts

We were created by Michael Young in 1987, one of the founders of the Open University, to offer high quality arts courses as a means to transform lives, with the opportunity to develop and express creative talents under the guidance of experienced artists. The OCA is a non-profit educational charity whose charitable purpose is to widen participation in arts education through distance learning methods. With OCA, you can study a creative degree from anywhere in the world, at a time and pace that suits you.
