About this course
Our Film & Digital Art course at UCA Farnham is an alternative to traditional film production courses that bridges the gap between fine art and film by exploring the creative possibilities of moving image, photography and digital practices.
If you want to push the limits of technology, experiment creatively and learn the skills you need to produce work that responds to social, political, and cultural developments, then this is the ideal course for you.
We’ll teach you digital production skills and encourage you to work with curiosity, take risks, explore concepts and reflect critically on others’ work, as well as your own.
You’ll graduate with broad transferable skills that prepare you for a future in the creative industries – our graduates stand out because of their wide range of skills and ability to think beyond the boundaries of film.
The course has produced distinguished alumni and award-winners including Will McGregor, the director of BBC series Poldark and His Dark Materials.

In Year 1 you'll learn the fundamental digital skills in still and moving image through practical projects, and develop your contextual and research skills for creative work. You’ll learn the key skills for production through workshops, screenings and seminars, and practical exercises. Also, you’ll explore a range of key concepts central to an understanding of historical and contemporary moving image visual culture, from celluloid film to games and digital media. In Year 2 you'll critically examine the emerging theoretical and aesthetic debates associated with new media technologies and their relationship with more traditional visual cultures. In Year 3 you'll research , propose and undertake pre-production work for your final project. You'll produce a fully resolved body of work, and also a dissertation on a subject related to the contextual and/or theoretical concerns of your area of practice.
