Course summary
Our BA (Hons) Design for Theatre and Screen (with Integrated International Foundation Year) is a four year course, specifically designed to provide international students with the English language and creative skills before they embark on year one of a degree. Create environments, costumes and props for stage and screen and learn from passionate, professional designers, who know the industry inside out, on our BA (Hons) Design for Theatre & Screen degree course. Taught at UCA Farnham, you’ll put design, making and technical skills into practice as you take part in exciting work placements and collaborative projects, and learn from visiting lecturers with incredible experience – from production designers for Ant Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, and to designers for the Royal Ballet. You’ll also consider the world around you as you learn and make, so you’ll enter the industry fully versed in climate and carbon auditing and leadership, and you’ll connect with cutting-edge research projects both domestically and internationally. This course also has strong links with the likes of The Bush Theatre, The Young Vic, Farnham Maltings, and The English National Opera where you’ll attend workshops and performances and our longstanding relationship with the National Film and Television School often leads to work placements for large cohorts of students each year.

You’ll explore a range of creative techniques and develop your portfolio, with your chosen subject in mind. We’ll work with you throughout the year to ensure you’re on the right track and give you the tools to achieve your highest potential on your degree.
