Why the University for the Creative Arts - Farnham Campus?

Facilities: The Farnham campus has an extensive range of up-to-date resources for students to use, including glassblowing furnaces, radio and TV studios, a cinema, dark rooms and metal and wood workshops.

Career Opportunities: Students before and after graduating have completed work experience with big names like Harry Potter, Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie and Corpse Bride, Simon’s Cat and others. Students and graduates have achieved great success far and wide, from winning Oscars and BAFTAs to meeting Stephen Hawking.

Galleries and Exhibitions: The Farnham campus is home to the James Hockey and Foyer Galleries which host a range of exhibitions by visiting artists as well as UCA’s own staff, students and graduates. Farnham also features the Centre for Sustainable Design and the Crafts Study Centre, which is a purpose-built museum and gallery dedicated to crafts. These galleries enrich and engage the wider community as well as the network of creative individuals across the University.

Location: From the campus, students can stroll 5 minutes into Farnham and discover what the beautiful town has to offer. It’s a pretty Georgian market town with quaint cobbled streets, a variety of independent shops and a rich arts scene, all nestled in the beautiful Surrey countryside. The town also benefits from being right next to Bourne Woods – the backdrop of many blockbuster films such as Thor, Harry Potter, Avengers, Gladiator and many more.
