Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Ceramics and Glass

There is great resurgence in the appreciation of and desire to make things with our hands, especially in the fields of ceramics and glass – the rise of television programmes about craft reflecting this new movement of making. Those that feel part of this movement, and find joy in making with tactile and expressive materials will feel at home in UCA's BA (Hons) Ceramics and Glass course.

This course at UCA Farnham is about learning through making with the long-term goal of enabling each student to develop an appropriate and unique language of expression through ceramics and glass. With an emphasis on high-quality craftsmanship UCA will give students knowledge, experience, confidence and transferable skills to take into their professional career.

Farnham’s craft heritage is world renowned; it is the UK’s first and only location to be awarded Craft Town status. This exciting course focuses on UCA’s extensive craft experience, heritage and expertise to teach students the various ways in which they can work with ceramics and glass. Great value is placed on specialism with a deep understanding of material and process; to that end, students experience both ceramics and glass during their first year before choosing to specialise in one area for the remainder of the course.

UCA's team of lecturers, who are practicing designers, makers and researchers, ensure what students are learning on the course is current and relevant to industry.
