On our BA (Hons) Fine Art 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, encouraging you to engage with society, culture and politics through painting, sculpture, film, printmaking, photography, drawing or performance.
As you study, you’ll explore how art is created through industry projects, exhibitions and curatorial exercises, and develop skills in leadership and project management. You’ll also have the opportunity to exhibit your own work across London and the South East, and complete a work experience placement in the art world as you establish yourself as a confident and competent artist.
The course will also give you opportunities to discover the ways in which artists build a profile, become employable, promote themselves, and develop the expert support and industry links you need to succeed in the working world.
Course Details - Modules
In Year 1 you'll explore practices of painting, sculpture, print, performance, film and photography. You'll examine drawing from formal study to experimental practice and will trace the recurrence of ideas and concepts throughout contemporary art practice. In Year 2 you'll develop your studio practice and examine how critical theory has extended and underpinned historical and current art practice. You'll also learn how to present both your work and the work of others in interesting ways. In Year 3 you'll work towards the presentation of your work in a major exhibition which will showcase your unique ideas. You'll produce a dissertation which will resolve your studio practice with your theoretical interests, and will make preparations for your professional future.
