Modelmaking

Our BA (Hons) Modelmaking degree course for makers who are also storytellers – those who believe that detail matters. On it, you’ll master the craft of translating ideas into reality, making models to inspire and tell stories.

Welcomed into a design community at UCA Canterbury that has an 80-year history of modelmaking for architecture, visual effects, film, TV, and product design, you’ll collaborate with product, spatial, interior, and architectural designers as you study, developing a much broader set of skills than you’d gain from many similar courses.

Using our extensive design and making facilities to create your models, you’ll learn to embrace design as a process and be open to the exciting discoveries that can sometimes emerge from mistakes and failed experiments.

Of course, impressive outcomes are always welcome, but if you’re also interested in the development and making processes themselves, then this course may well be for you.

Once you’ve graduated, the world’s your oyster – you could choose a career path in set or props design for theatre or film, VFX, architectural, product, or automotive modelling.
