Study the UK's only Body Art degree course at UCA Canterbury. Tattoo, drag, transhumanism, performance – studied together for the first time.
A whirlwind of alternative arts
When you study Body Art, one week you're studying the cultural history of body marking; the next, you're working with a drag artist, a bodybuilder, or creating sensory sculptures from scanned body parts. You’ll arrive in the studio thinking you’re set on one path, then discover several more that call out to you.
Skills that can take you anywhere
The best practitioners have portfolio careers – they exhibit, illustrate, tattoo, document, and design. Some travel the world as reportage illustrators; others run studios, produce publications, or work in film. This Body Art degree gives you the range to build your own combination, developing skills across multiple disciplines from day one.
A subject taken seriously
Body art has shaped cultures, identities, and communities for centuries – but has never been treated as a subject worthy of academic study until now. The industries it touches are financially enormous, its impact on society is immeasurable. You’ll study all of it deeply, building an understanding that changes how you see the work and your place in it.
Where your people are
This is the degree that body art's creative community has been waiting for – built for the people who've always been drawn to this world and wanted somewhere that understood it (and them). It’s a different route into the industries you love, or a door into industries you didn’t know existed. It’s a place for you to be fiercely creative and completely yourself.
The UCA Way
UCA courses are built around the things we know matter most to creative students:
Learn by making
Get practical and stuck in – spend most of your time in studios and workshops. Over 80% of our teaching spaces are studios, workshops, or labs.
See your place in the bigger picture
Understand history, culture and context to give your work depth. Our degrees were established by BAFTA and Oscar winners.
Find your people
Collaboration is built into the curriculum, where you’ll make friends and future creative partners. Our Shared modules link work from students from up to 15 courses. This module focuses on how you collaborate, not what you deliver. Setting you up for success in a creative community.
Gain career confidence for the long game
Build skills, resilience, and industry awareness that prepare you for a successful creative career. Our courses have been designed with industry, focussing on your professional pathway, you’ll learn about grant applications, self-employment, and how to nail creative job interviews.
Learn in a way that works for you
Inclusive assessment, synchronised deadlines, and a student experience built with real life in mind. Our courses are focussed on being inclusive. We listen to our students, and you learn and get feedback how you want it.
