University town

Where creativity comes alive.

At the heart of Farnham is the University for the Creative Arts, where students develop their craft, test new ideas, and contribute to the town’s cultural life.

Founded in 1866 as the Farnham School of Art, the university has grown into a specialist centre for creative education. Students study everything from architecture and animation to photography, immersive technologies, and business.

It is not just about the classroom. You will see student exhibitions in local galleries, hear conversations over coffee about final projects, and spot sketchbooks out in the wild.

Farnham’s creative spirit extends beyond campus, shaping the town’s future one idea at a time.
