Fine Art, BA (Hons)

Realise your potential in one of Britain’s most vibrant cities for art and culture. Be guided by practising artists and explore different techniques, technologies and concepts in dedicated fine art studios and specialist workshops, seminars and tutorials through placement and field trip opportunities. Study 2D, 3D and 4D interdisciplinary art to understand the dynamic relationships between expanded forms of making, thinking and writing that reflect contemporary art practice.

• Studio culture. Our main teaching and learning space is the studio and we place emphasis on creating a friendly, supportive, vibrant, creative, critical and reflective studio environment.

• Thinking through doing. This is a practice-based programme, which means that critical enquiry is at the heart of making work. We encourage you to be exploratory and experimental, to think through making and to embrace uncertainty and not knowing.

• Facilities. You will have inductions in and access to a wide range of specialist workshop facilities to advance your artistic enquiry, including letterpress and printmaking, ceramics, woodworking, metal, video, audio, XR and 3D printing.

• Interdisciplinary. Studio practice modules and the common challenges and dissertation modules offer you opportunities to work in interdisciplinary research areas across the arts, humanities and sciences.

• Degree show. Showcase your final project in a faculty-wide exhibition alongside students from our 12 art and design degrees. The Degree Show is your chance to introduce friends and family, your new creative network and art community, prospective employers and the general public to your work.
