Is the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts a university? The Royal Academy of Art and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts are not the same school. The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) and the Royal College of Art (RCA) are two different schools, sometimes confused.

The following is some information about these two colleges:

　　 Royal College of Arts (RCA) ：

RCA is a university accredited by the Ministry of Education of China and accepts students from more than 60 countries around the world, including Chinese students.

The application process of RCA includes submitting a form application or online application, submitting a collection of works, and attending an interview after passing the preliminary examination. The interview may need to be held at school, but if conditions do not permit, video or telephone interviews may be available.

RCA language requirements are: MA IELTS 6.5 (composition 6.0), TOEFL IBT 90 (composition 20), PTE 64 (composition 54); MPhil courses IELTS 6.5 (composition 6.5), TOEFL IBT 92 (composition 24), PTE 62 (composition 62); PhD courses IELTS 7.0 (composition 7.0), TOEFL IBT 100 (composition 30), PTE 68 (composition 68).

　　 Royal Academy of Fine Arts (RA) ：

RA, founded in 1768, has a long history and is one of the world's famous art and design colleges. The college holds an exhibition of outstanding students and artists' works every year, attracting the attention of art lovers at home and abroad.

The admission conditions of RA include language performance requirements, submission of postgraduate portfolio and interview. At present, the college mainly enrolls students from EU countries, but the dean who is interested in oriental art, especially Chinese calligraphy and ceramics hopes to have more Asian students apply.

To sum up, RCA is open to Chinese students and has clear application process and language requirements. Although RA mainly enrolls students from EU countries, it also tends to be open to Asian students. If you are interested in applying, you are suggested to check the official website of each college in detail to understand the specific application requirements and procedures.
