This course has a distinguished history and offers you the opportunity to study photographic practice, theory and history in the broadest possible context. We have a strong teaching team of professional photographers and artists and our students graduate with a high level of professional and practical knowledge, as well as an understanding of photographic culture and history.
This course focuses on contemporary photographic art practice. Studying photography within a fine art context prepares our students for all types of future employment within the field of photography, both art-based and commercial practice.
The four year course includes a preparatory year (year 0) which enables you to gain and develop a range of skills in moving/still image and audio production and editing.
The initial year also offers supports seminars, tutorials, specialist technical workshops and group critiques to help you to adapt to the student centred learning of degree level study. Once you have successfully completed this preparatory year you progress directly, without further interview or application onto the BA (Hons) Photography courses at UCA Farnham. You also have the option of progressing onto other courses in media and communications.
