MA Jewellery

Jewellery at UCA

UCA’s MA Jewellery course offers you a unique opportunity to add depth and breadth to your jewellery-making and design practice, as well as your research skills.

This course is based at UCA Farnham, where top-class facilities and a culture of craft collide. As a project-led and studio-based course with close tutorial guidance, it is suited to highly motivated and talented people who want to work at the forefront of their creative discipline.

Rigorous research will encourage you to explore a wide range of approaches, from traditional to contemporary influences, within art, craft, design and technology.

You will be taught by leading specialist designers, artists and crafts experts, creating a range of objects and experimenting with different materials and processes to develop your creative thinking and create bespoke pieces for exhibition or display in-person. Your ideas and opportunities will be unrestricted, and we encourage you to enhance your own creative journey through practice and theoretical learning.

Throughout the course, you’ll work closely alongside students from other fields such as textiles, ceramics, metalwork and glass. This will enable you to broaden your knowledge and incorporate elements from various disciplines into your own practice, ensuring your final project is tailored to your desired audience and is a reflection of your own personal journey on the MA course.

Our Farnham campus offers extraordinary facilities, with extensive workshops and equipment to support your study. It's also home to the Crafts Study Centre – a purpose-built museum, research centre and gallery dedicated to crafts.
