Fine Art degrees in Clearing at UCA

UCA offer fine art degrees at two campuses: the Canterbury School of Art, Architecture & Design and the Farnham School of Creative and Cultural Industries.

There are no exams or dissertations on our fine art degrees. Your final project is a practical one: a portfolio of creative work alongside a critical report, in whatever form best suits your project.

You'll have opportunities to work beyond the confines of you dedicated studio space. Real-world projects, competitions and chances to engage with public audiences off campus are available throughout your degree.
