Design Degrees

Just looking for some help as I am very confused as to what to apply for. Im currently doing a foundation at Leeds College of Art and thought i'd know by now what I would want to do for a degree... But I still change my mind too often!
My strength, I would say, is probably photography. Out of all the projects I have done, my photography has always been noticed. But my mind tells me that a degree in graphics, visual communication, advertising,film.. (basically, I love all the digital based things, over say, fine art, textiles etc..).
I was wondering out of any of the courses I mentioned, which is the one that I could put the best use of my photography into, without doing a photography degree alone? As I feel the others may be more use to me when graduating.
Thankyou!

Hello! My name is Eliel and I am UCA representative and also a current student there. I have been doing photography for 2 years now.

I read you were asking about Graphic Design courses across the UK and though you would be interested in our degree programs at UCA. I don't know if you have heard of UCA before. The University for the Creative Arts is one of the leading providers of specialist art and design education in Europe. We are a diverse community of about 7,000 students from more than 70 countries and are based around five campuses in Surrey and Kent.

There is 2 courses which I believe are mainly Graphic Design based but also have a a lot of other areas you can get into like Photography. Find the links to the courses below:

- UCA Canterbury, BA (Hons) Graphic Design: Visual Communications - http://www.ucreative.ac.uk/ba-graphi...communications
- UCA Farnham, BA (Hons) Graphic Communication - http://www.ucreative.ac.uk/ba-graphic-communication

As I said before, I am a current student at UCA and have been for almost 2 years now so if you have any questions rewarding student life or anything else please don't hesitate to ask.

Hope you find this useful.

E.
