Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Photography

On this BA (Hons) Photography course in Farnham, students will become skilled in the act of photography and in the art of photography. The images they can produce and the impact those images have on our experience of the world is key to this course.

This course has a long history, stretching back more than 70 years, and as such has produced a long line of graduates forging successful careers in everything from editorial and advertising to fine art to gallery and project management, and documentary making.

As a member of UCA's community of internationally renowned practicing artists and photographers, students will have access to a wide range of both digital and analogue facilities, including black and white/colour darkrooms and film processing, digital processing and editing suites, photographic studios, various digital and film cameras, lenses and lighting equipment and book production facilities. Students will also be encouraged radically consider image making while developing a critical awareness and voice which will define their approach to the subject in to the future.

At UCA they challenge students to rethink their preconceived views on photography, experiment with new methods and ways of thinking, and produce images for different industries and audiences.

Students will be taught and guided throughout by some of the world’s finest photography academics, and with UCA's support they’ll gain increasing autonomy over their work as the course progresses, enabling them to lean on teachers for critical support and collaboration as they establish and develop their own photographic style.

Students will have a wealth of national and international industry connections, and UCA also regularly arranges visits to, and lectures from, a wide range of institutions including the National Media Museum, Brighton Photo Fringe, The Photographers’ Gallery London, Photoworks Magazine, as well as Berg, Blackwell, Focalpress, Routledge and other publishers.
