Fine Art (Extension Degree), BA (Hons)

The BA Fine Art (Extension Degree) at Goldsmiths is designed for students from outside the UK, enabling independent artistic practice and idea development. Fine art encompasses contemporary art-making and study, including sculpture, painting, video, performance, sound, installation, drawing, art writing, or other media, where conceptual ideas are as vital as the chosen medium. Students engage in a dynamic, critical, interdisciplinary environment, building technical and conceptual skills, critical judgment, and foundational practices, with English language support as needed.This small, friendly programme emphasises one-to-one tuition and small-group teaching. From day one, students gain dedicated studio space and access to specialist facilities. Successful completion allows direct progression to Year 1 of the BA Fine Art or BA Fine Art & History of Art. Staff are practising artists, curators, and writers who contextualise student work within current cultural debates. Goldsmiths alumni have earned over 30 Turner Prize nominations and 8 wins since 1990.
