Fine Art BFA

Each student is allocted 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 USA. The Slade's location in central London, close to many important galleries, museums, libraries and theatres, allows students to access a range of learning resources and research opportunities. 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, Phyliida Barlow, Martin Creed and Mona Hatoum.

The programme aims to: develop the individual visual intelligence you bring with you to the school; develop your critical awareness and understanding of fine art and its contexts; and 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.
