Check fees and funding optionsStylist, Photographer, or Creative Director? Then our BA (Hons) Fashion Image & Styling degree course at UCA Epsom is the one for you.
Photography, styling, and creative direction don't exist in isolation. You'll develop all three as interconnected practices, building a 360-degree understanding of how fashion images are conceived, produced, and communicated. By the time you graduate, you'll be able to walk onto any set and understand every role within it.
This is a concept-driven course. You'll learn to build visual arguments, develop narratives, and draw on culture, identity, and contemporary references to make images that say something. Critical thinking is embedded into your studio practice, your research, and the way you approach every brief.
Your tutors are active practitioners working across the fashion image industry – shooting editorials, directing campaigns, styling shows, and producing content for a range of platforms and outputs within industry. Their teaching is grounded in current practice, so the way you work on the course reflects the pace, pressure, and industry practices.
You won't arrive knowing exactly what you want to be. First year is designed for exploration, letting you test ideas across disciplines and figure out where your creative instincts sit. Second year, you’ll develop and expand on creative practices and technologies. And by third, the guardrails come off entirely: a self-directed major project that's yours to define, yours to own, and the centrepiece of the portfolio you'll use to launch your career.
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.

Second year Fashion Management & Marketing student Eve Jappy is settling into her new life in Amsterdam whilst on her work placement...
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/stories/eve-jappy-calvin-klein-8.png)
7.30am: My alarm goes off and I jump in the shower, getting myself ready for a full day in the office at Calvin Klein.
The first thing I had to get used to in Amsterdam was that everyone cycles around the city. So, of course I got myself a bike and now I feel like I fit in with the locals!
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/stories/eve-jappy-calvin-klein-5.png)
9.00am: I head up to the sixth floor to the Calvin Klein Creative Hub, where I work with the visual merchandising, creative services, store design and architecture teams.
10.30am: We have a team meeting between the visual merchandisers and store design. I’m learning so much from sitting in on meetings and listening to everyone’s creative processes.
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/stories/eve-jappy-calvin-klein-6.png)
3.00pm: This afternoon I’ve been assisting on a photoshoot for some of the new women’s lingerie range.
This has been a great experience for me, working alongside photographers, stylists and the shoot manager. It’s a lot of work and running around, which can be tiring, but I’m having a great time and learning so much from everyone.
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/stories/eve-jappy-calvin-klein-7.jpg)
8.00pm: I head out for dinner a beautiful restaurant called MaMa Kelly with some girls from work.
In my spare time, I’ve been trying to explore as much of the city as possible. So far, De Pijp has been my favourite neighbourhood. It’s got a very cool, young and trendy vibe.
/prod01/channel_8/media/marketing-media/stories/eve-jappy-calvin-klein-3.jpg)
I have learnt so much from the Calvin Klein team so far on my placement. I would really encourage anyone to do a placement abroad while studying if you get the chance. It may seem scary but it is so worth it as you get to experience different cultures and nationalities.
I am so thankful that my course leader really encouraged us to put a lot of effort into our LinkedIn and digital portfolios, because it helped to get me noticed in the industry and opened up this fantastic opportunity.
