Check fees and funding optionsFine Art grounded in materials and making. Because if you can't make it, it's just an idea. Embark on a journey of self-discovery as you become a fully-fledged fine artist on our BA (Hons) Fine Art degree course in Farnham.
You’ll test ideas and concepts through material exploration – in the studios, print rooms, metal workshops, and the plaster and woodwork workshops. You’ll explore how paint behaves, how sculpture occupies space, and how different processes shape creative ideas. From there, you choose your direction; refine a discipline or experiment widely. That cycle of learning, testing, and developing your own approach continues throughout the degree.
Fine Art has been taught at Farnham since 1866, and the facilities reflect that history: a bronze foundry, metalwork and welding, ceramics, printmaking, woodwork, plaster casting, digital fabrication, and generous light-filled studio spaces – all on a single, contained campus with dedicated technical staff. You won't need to cross town or book into another department. It's all here, and you'll be inducted into it from the start.
There's no dissertation on this course. Your final-year research is a practical project – a portfolio of creative work alongside a critical report, in whatever form your practice demands. Theory, context, and criticality are taught in the studio – through the act of making.
In your final year, you'll apply for real open calls and competitions, develop exhibition strategies, learn how to price your work and handle your tax return – the things that bridge being a creative and being a working artist. This is a course that celebrates commercial savvy as much as creative expression – we’re here to train artists who can be paid for their talents.
UCA courses are built around the things we know matter most to creative students:
Get practical and stuck in – spend most of your time in studios and workshops. Over 80% of our teaching spaces are studios, workshops, or labs.
Understand history, culture and context to give your work depth. Our degrees were established by BAFTA and Oscar winners.
Collaboration is built into the curriculum, where you’ll make friends and future creative partners. Our Shared modules link work from students from up to 15 courses. This module focuses on how you collaborate, not what you deliver. Setting you up for success in a creative community.
Build skills, resilience, and industry awareness that prepare you for a successful creative career. Our courses have been designed with industry, focussing on your professional pathway, you’ll learn about grant applications, self-employment, and how to nail creative job interviews.
Inclusive assessment, synchronised deadlines, and a student experience built with real life in mind. Our courses are focussed on being inclusive. We listen to our students, and you learn and get feedback how you want it.

From editing in the studio, meeting with artists and working in the gallery, Ellie Turner describes how no day is the same when studying Fine Art at UCA Farnham...
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/stories/Ellie-Turner-1-(1).webp)
10.00am: we went to photocopy our passports ready for a class trip to Berlin we’re going on soon. We’re always getting out and about, seeing shows in London and once a year we go abroad.
After a trip to equipment hire to pick up a camera for the day, I start making. I’ve been working on a karaoke installation for an exhibition at Chelsea School of Art I’m taking part in.
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/stories/Ellie-Turner-3.jpg)
2.00pm: A visiting artist comes to discuss what he’s creating for a curatorial space I help to manage. We were chatting for a few hours, finalising plans for when he starts making the work.
5.20pm: I leave the studio for the day. The structured day ends at 4.30pm but normally everyone stays until a bit later. I have a part-time job in Farnham town so I stay working in the studio (more editing) then start work at 5.30pm.
7.30pm: The weekdays are normally very long, but it’s always really rewarding and I wouldn’t change it. My days at uni are always different and it never gets boring!

UCA Fashion Promotion and Imaging graduate Cassidy Moses initially wanted to work in fashion and direct editorial photoshoots.
But the skills she gained on her course, coupled with a deep desire to bring art to a wider audience, have earned her an exciting role at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC.
My course drew me towards working for people and organisations that are passionate about bringing art to more people... While I was studying at UCA, we were encouraged to go to exhibitions regularly, and that exposure had a huge impact on me.

Cassidy helps to organise future public programs and deliver current programs, including See Me, which brings people with Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease into the museum with their caregivers.

Material Encounters: Beginning a Practice 1; 30 credits
This module is organised in two integrated parts that develop your painting skills on the surface and extend them into expanded, spatial, and experimental forms.
Part 1 (6 weeks) introduces core skills through hands-on experimentation with both traditional and non-traditional painting materials, surfaces, and processes. You will test how ideas begin on the two-dimensional plane and how they may shift, adapt, or expand through iterative making. Through practical enquiry, you will build a working toolkit that supports material investigation, technical exploration, and clear documentation of your decisions and processes.
Part 2 (6 weeks) You can choose to deepen your engagement with any of the painting approaches introduced in Part 1, or you may use this stage to move your practice into expanded, three-dimensional, or spatial forms. The module is designed to support both: a richer, more focused understanding of painting on the surface, and the freedom to explore how painting can evolve into object based, spatial, or installation practices.
Building on your earlier material testing and surface enquiry, you will consider how ideas might operate on the plane or extend beyond it, how a painted concept can occupy space, how viewers encounter it, and how your interests in surface, composition, mark making, and material exploration can develop into your own emerging approaches.
Across the module, you’ll situate your work within the wider field of surface based and expanded practice, exploring how artists use materials, images, and spatial strategies to create meaning. The emphasis is on openness: choosing pathways that resonate with your interests and beginning to define the direction and character of your own practice.
Career Catalyst: Skills & Capability; 30 credits
You are introduced to creative disciplines, professional contexts and future pathways, supporting your transition into university life. Through exploratory, progression route related projects, you develop cultural awareness, creative confidence and a strong sense of belonging. This module helps you understand how creative work operates in the world, encouraging you to see yourself as an emerging creative professional while building the foundational skills, habits and mindsets needed for progression into higher level study.
Material Encounters: Beginning a Practice 2; 30 credits
This module introduces you to the dynamic possibilities of working in three dimensions, opening up a space to explore how materials, objects, and environments can become active agents in your creative practice. You’ll investigate how form, space, and concept intersect, and how shaping the physical world can also shape the way you think.
Part 1 (6 weeks) focuses on fundamental skills. You’ll work with traditional and non-traditional materials, experiment with construction methods, and develop spatial awareness through hands-on making. From objects to assemblage to installation, you will build a toolkit that helps you understand how materials behave, communicate, and transform.
Part 2 (6 weeks) challenges you to develop your own approach. Whether you choose to refine object-based forms, push into installation, or test more experimental processes, you will investigate how your ideas inhabit space and how viewers experience them. This stage encourages you to define a direction that feels ambitious, personal, and critically engaged.
Across the module, you’ll explore three-dimensional practice as a multifaceted and evolving field. You will examine historical and contemporary contexts, question how objects operate culturally and socially, and consider how material decisions contribute to meaning. Here, making becomes a form of thinking, one that invites you to reconfigure space, rethink processes, and reimagine how your work connects to the wider world.
Hybrid Practices; 30 credits
You will develop your creative practice through experimentation with analogue, digital, and hybrid techniques. You will extend skills and ideas developed elsewhere in the course by applying them to new material, technical, or contextual situations, exploring how tools, processes, and formats shape creative outcomes. Through studio-based experimentation, you will test and iterate work across physical, digital, spatial, and screen-based approaches, with an emphasis on learning through doing, adaptation, and reflection rather than producing resolved outcomes. The module encourages consideration of context, audience, and presentation, alongside ethical, sustainable, and inclusive creative decision-making, supporting progression into more independent practice.
Fine Art Practice 1; 30 credits
In this module you will examine the role of the contemporary artist as an active agent in society, focusing on how fine art can engage with and respond to pressing social, political, and ecological issues. You will research and critically reflect on the ethical responsibilities of artists and the potential of art to provoke dialogue, raise awareness, and inspire change. Through studio practice and conceptual development, you will create a body of work that positions you as commentators, critics, and cultural influencers within contemporary discourse.
Career Catalyst: Communities & Influence; 30 credits
You focus on building creative, technical and digital capability aligned to professional standards. You develop transferable skills through practical projects, feedback and reflection, strengthening professional literacy and confidence. This module prepares you to apply your skills effectively across disciplines, laying the foundations for collaboration, industry engagement and complex creative challenges.
Fine Art Practice 2; 30 credits
This module supports you in consolidating your creative identity by building upon prior learning and visual experimentation. You will critically evaluate previous work and develop a coherent body of practice-led research. Emphasis is placed on refining a personal visual language, deepening conceptual understanding, and engaging with professional presentation strategies to articulate an individual artistic position. Work produced in this module will be exhibited as part of the festival module that runs alongside this module, providing you with an opportunity to showcase your practice in a public-facing context.
Festival; 30 credits
This is a module that prepares you for professional practice through the planning and/or delivery of public-facing creative work, applying critical analysis, audience engagement, and sustainable principles to help define and test your creative practice.
If you opt to complete a professional practice year, this will take place in year three. You will undertake a placement within the creative industries to further develop your skills and CV.
While on your Professional Practice Year, you will be required to pay a reduced tuition fee for that year. This fee will be determined using government funding regulations. Based on current regulations, we expect this to be a maximum of 20% of the tuition fee rate that you are charged for your second year of study. You will also incur additional travel and accommodation costs during this year. The University will provide you with further advice and guidance about this as you approach your Professional Practice Year.
Please note: If you are an international applicant, you will need to enrol onto the course ‘with Professional Practice Year’. It will not be possible to transfer onto the Professional Practice Year after enrolment.
Creative Research; 30 credits
Questioning through critical practice: A module that challenges you to investigate questions or themes through advanced, critical research and/or practice, communicate your findings effectively and evaluate how they shape your own, distinctive creative work.
Career Catalyst: Futures & Direction; 30 credits
This module supports your transition beyond graduation by focusing on professional identity, positioning and future direction. Consolidating learning through portfolio development, research and career planning you will prepare for employment, freelance practice or further study. The module develops autonomy, confidence and resilience, equipping you to navigate and shape your future professional pathways.
Major Project; 60 credits
Bringing it all together: this module brings together the knowledge, skills, and behaviours you have learned to develop research-informed, critical, and sustainable work that defines your practice and readiness for next steps after graduation.
