Fine Art BA

Each student is allocated their own studio space at the start of each year within their chosen subject area. First-year students explore each area on rotation during the first term. All undergraduates are eligible to apply for international exchanges. The Slade has exchange agreements with art schools in China, Europe, Israel and the United States. The Slade's location in central London, close to many important galleries, museums, libraries and theatres, provides opportunities to access a wide range of learning resources and research. The Slade is based in the heart of the UCL campus allowing for interdisciplinary discourse.

Distinguished alumni include Richard Hamilton, Zarina Bhimji, Paula Rego, Derek Jarman, Antony Gormley, Rachel Whiteread, Tacita Dean, Cecily Brown, Phyllida Barlow, Martin Creed and Mona Hatoum.

The programme aims to:
develop the individual intelligence, research interests and skills you bring with you to the school. Develop your critical awareness and understanding of fine art and its contexts. Provide the intellectual and practical resources to enable you to realise your creative potential as a professional artist. Most Slade graduates become professional artists but you will leave UCL with a range of skills to branch out into a variety of careers. You will have built up practical, transferable and academic skills and these, alongside any experience you may have gained outside your degree, will widen your career options.
