Fine Art (Extension Degree), BA (Hons)

The BA Fine Art (Extension Degree) is designed for international students outside the UK, aiming to foster independent artistic practice and idea generation. Fine Art encompasses the creation and study of contemporary art through mediums like sculpture, painting, video, photography, performance, sound, installation, and drawing, where conceptual ideas are as vital as the chosen medium. At Goldsmiths, this programme offers a supportive, small-scale environment with one-to-one tuition, technical and conceptual skill development, and integrated English language support as needed. Students gain access to studio spaces, excellent facilities, and guidance from practising artists, while building transferable skills for creative industries and benefiting from the institution's strong track record, including multiple Turner Prize nominations.In Year 0, modules include Studio Practice for hands-on work with assigned tutors, Critical Studies for exploring contemporary art debates through lectures and gallery visits, and English for Academic Purposes for non-native speakers. Integration activities connect students with the broader BA Fine Art programme via group discussions. Assessment involves coursework, examinations, group work, and projects, with availability subject to staff research commitments.
