Studio Practice (Fashion Image & Styling) (Top-up)

Stylist, Photographer, or Creative Director? One year to find out and decide.

Are you a stylist, photographer, or creative director? This is a course designed to answer that question, develop your practice in fashion image and styling, and equip you with the technical skills and creative confidence to pursue your chosen career.

You'll define your own direction, backed by independent research and guided by tutors who are active practitioners in the fashion industry. You'll work alongside make-up and hair students on shared shoots and creative projects – the kind of cross-disciplinary collaboration that mirrors how the professional world actually operates.

By the end of the year, you'll have a portfolio that shows not just what you can do, but who you are as a creative. A clear identity, a critical voice, and the confidence to step into an industry that rewards originality and versatility above all.

If you prefer a closer, more community feel, UCA’s creative campuses in Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, and Maidstone could be for you. Each campus is home to a vibrant community of like-minded creatives, with supportive and passionate academic staff to help you bring your ideas to life.

As a UCA student, you’ll have access to their specialist creative facilities, from VR studios and digital editing suites to traditional craft workshops and your own dedicated art space. Here you can experiment, find inspiration, and get all the support you need.

UCA know you're more than just grades – that's why they’ll look beyond your certificates to get an understanding of your passions, personality, and portfolio.

Applying through Clearing could lead to a degree you’ll love. Join UCA’s creative community this September.
