The Photography MA with Integrated International Pre-Masters at the University for Creative Arts (UCA) is your pathway to advanced postgraduate study in the UK, specifically designed for students from non-UK educational backgrounds. This comprehensive programme, delivered on campus at UCA Farnham, addresses the need for enhanced academic English and essential research skills required for Master's-level work in creative disciplines. You will explore contemporary debates in visual and material culture, developing the critical enquiry and research methods vital for success in your chosen field.
Studied full-time over two years, this integrated course offers a blend of online and face-to-face learning. Your first year as an International Pre-Masters student involves intensive development of study skills, English for academic purposes, and an introduction to your creative practice through lectures, seminars, and workshops. You will then progress to the MA, undertaking self-directed study, innovation, and development, culminating in the resolution and presentation of a significant final body of work. You will graduate with the confidence and expertise to define and produce work within a professional context, ready for a career in the global photography industry.
