Train as an actor. Become a creator on our exciting industry connected BA (Hons) Acting degree course at UCA Farnham.
Conservatoire meets university
Our actor training is practical, vocational, and intensive – led by practising industry professionals – but you are also given the creative freedom to write, produce, and direct. That's what makes a UCA actor-creator – a performer who is employable across a wide range of skills and disciplines.
Stage, screen, and everything between
One week you may perform at a 400-seat theatre. The next, you might be on set in a custom-built film studio, or motion capture suite, or behind the mic in a recording studio. By graduation, you'll have a professional showreel, voicereel, headshots, and website – all produced as part of the course, in collaboration with other students and staff.
Big names, big lights
Our students have showcased their work at the National Theatre – a relationship unique to UCA. They’ve also performed at Shakespeare's Globe and screened their work at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, and worked with the British Film Institute (BFI). Guest lecturers have included well-known actors and directors from stage and screen, as well as casting professionals from films like Skyfall and Spectre. UCA Acting is also recognised as a Graduate Course by Spotlight and Equity.
A community that keeps going
Through our Performance Indicator, you could be eligible for further acting, writing, producing and directing opportunities both during your time with us and after you graduate. Our alumni network is a part of the fabric of our programme, graduates are supported by our team long after they have left formal education.
The UCA Way
UCA courses are built around the things we know matter most to creative students:
Learn by making
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.
See your place in the bigger picture
Understand history, culture and context to give your work depth. Our degrees were established by BAFTA and Oscar winners.
Find your people
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.
Gain career confidence for the long game
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.
Learn in a way that works for you
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.
