Fine Art

About this programme

Choose your own journey. Define your interests, your practice, and immerse yourself in exploration. It takes a rare and special ability to become a fine artist. You need both technical skill and creative insight to produce work that conveys an original perspective. Our BA Fine Art degree course gives you the space, freedom and support to fully express your artistic vision. You'll have access to your own studio space and will work with the academic and technical staff in defining and developing your interests. You'll work across disciplines and capacities, including: Process and material-based learning, painting, video, printmaking, photography, drawing, performance, sculpture, public art, participatory and inclusive practices, woodwork, metalwork, ceramics, bronze casting, and sewing. You will develop skills through engaging with traditional materials and contemporary technologies within a studio practice culture. Both a strong art historical and broader contextual view of your work is a crucial as part of your evolution as an artist. Through blending material exploration, practice and philosophy, you will explore the intricate connections between theoretical and conceptual ideas and artistic intention. You will gain insights from diverse interdisciplinary contexts, engage with critical theory and learn to apply them through your work. Be ambitious, disciplined and motivated in your practice and you'll graduate with the skills, confidence and critical ability to continue your journey as a professional artist.
