BA (Hons) - Fine Art

This course is designed for those who are passionate about fine art and want the opportunity to work with a broad range of media, individual studio space, and develop their creative skills in a supportive and friendly environment.

The emphasis of this course is on contemporary practice, preparing you for a career as an artist or professional in the arts related industries. Experimentation and innovation is encouraged, alongside an understanding of the ideas and issues informing artists today. We have a small intake of students so you will have regular contact with staff and easy access to our excellent learning resources: these include screen printing, etching and relief print rooms, Apple Mac suites, with up-to-date digital imaging, web, video and audio software, photographic studios and darkrooms, painting and three-dimensional work areas, and our own Parfitt Gallery. We also have an experienced and dedicated core staff team.

You will have the opportunity to develop your practice across different media or concentrate on one particular area, reflecting current approaches to fine art. The course is modular and interdisciplinary and thus suited to individual needs and expectations. You will be expected to develop your own personal language within the different disciplines, making the transition from directed learning to more independent study and consolidating your visual identity and expertise.
