University of Central Asia (UCA): Admissions and Financial Aid

Admissions and Financial Aid

University of Central Asia (UCA) will attract the brightest, most hardworking and creative students with a demonstrated commitment to their communities and the region. Competitive admissions standards are being developed; closer to the date of opening, admissions policies will be developed.

One of the most fundamental principles of UCA is that admission will be purely on the basis of merit, as determined by objective standards.

The UCA Charter explicitly affirms that UCA is a secular institution of higher education embracing no religion or creed and open to men and women of all faiths and traditions, or no religious beliefs, purely on the basis of merit.

An applicant’s financial resources will not play a role in decisions on admission and no qualified student will be denied the opportunity to study at UCA for financial reasons. At the same time, all students will be expected to contribute financially to the cost of their education. Those who are unable to meet tuition fees will have access to financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, or work study programmes.
