BA (Hons) Fine Art

Our friendly studio-centred programme will support you to understand and participate in the expanded forms of making, thinking and writing that reflect art practice today. Be guided by practising artists, curators, producers and writers to explore concepts, contexts, techniques, and technologies across sculpture, installation, performance, video and digital media, painting and drawing.
BA (Hons) Fine Art will equip you with a diverse range of transferable skills, including independent study, goal setting, workload and deadline management, critical and professional writing, problem-solving, spatial planning, resource management, complex project management and collaboration skills that are key to contemporary, globalised, flexible working in many different sectors. You'll also graduate with a body of self-directed art practice that demonstrates critical, theoretical and contextual understandings of contemporary fine art.
Our mix of seminars and tutorials, placements and residencies, workshops and studio practice and your development of independent, collaborative and social practices will ready you to launch your professional practice, find employment in the cultural sector or act as a catalyst for further post-graduate study.
