Course summary

UCA’s one-year BA (Hons) Studio Practice degree course in Fashion Image & Styling is the ideal way to boost your existing qualifications or prepare for postgraduate study.

Taught at UCA’s Epsom campus, this course is essentially the final year of our three-year degree and will prepare you to engage at all levels of the global style business, from high street retail through to luxury brands.

And, as it sits with and is closely aligned to both BA (Hons) Fashion Photography and BA (Hons) Makeup & Hair Design, you’ll be able to work collaboratively on shoots and other projects.

Taught by a range specialist academics and experienced industry professionals, you’ll have gain insight into industry commissions, professional roles, and have a chance to hear from industry leaders. You’ll also be able to develop, refine and contextualise your own work in relation to diverse industry outputs and working models.

As well as developing highly specialist skills for fashion stylists and image makers, you’ll gain a wealth of transferable skills, too, including research skills, critical reflection, ethical judgement, cultural knowledge, communication skills, teamwork and project management.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

UCA is a place for creativity, ingenuity, and personality. We always consider the strength of an applicant's portfolio / audition as well as their grades and may make offers lower than our standard entry criteria to applicants with strong portfolios. We also make lower offers to students with mitigating circumstances or who have faced difficulties.

You shouldn’t be deterred from applying if your predicted grades are lower than the range we’ve accepted in the past.

Tuition fee status depends on a number of criteria and varies according to where in the UK you will study. For further guidance on the criteria for home or overseas tuition fees, please refer to the UKCISA website.

Additional fee information

If you are classified as a Home student and qualify for the government-regulated undergraduate tuition fee, you will be charged a single tuition fee for each academic year. Our policy is to charge the maximum regulated fee. To reflect increased costs of delivery and maintain a high-quality student experience, we will therefore increase fees in line with any uplift determined by the UK Government by law or government policy in the second and subsequent years of your course. Such increases are usually linked to inflation and determined using RPIX (the Retail Price Index excluding mortgage interest payments).

For all other students, your tuition fees may increase in the second and subsequent years of your course. Any increase in fees will be in line with inflation as measured by the RPIX but in any event by not more than 5%.

We will notify you of any fee increase by no later than July before the start of the next academic year.

At UCA we have a number of scholarships and fee discounts available to assist you with the cost of your studies.
