Course Overview
On our BA (Hons) Fine Arts degree course at UCA Farnham, you’ll become an artist – but you will also become so much more, with a wealth of adaptable skills to take with you into the career of your choice.
Our course reflects the dynamism and attitude of contemporary art and is focused on experimentation, play, and intellectual inquiry, which can be mediated through a range of outcomes.
Throughout the course, there are thematic core units which include critically informed research-led lectures, a range of practical workshops, and introductory critical and creative tasks.
And because Fine Art sits within an interdisciplinary program alongside Photography and Digital Art degrees, you’ll have the opportunity to work across disciplines through elective units and across-course collaborations and learning opportunities. This will give you the chance to build your learning program around your research interests.
You also have the option to complete a Professional Practice Year as part of this course. This will allow you to develop your professional, academic and personal potential, equipping you to be confident and engaged in creative workplaces. Employers widely recognize these qualities, and a significant proportion of placement students are offered graduate-level jobs or go on postgraduate study.
