Course summary
BA (Hons) Fine Art (with Integrated International Foundation Year and Professional Practice Year) is a five year degree programme, specifically designed to provide international students with the English language and creative skills before they embark on year one of a degree. Your fourth academic year would then include a year in industry placement. 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.
