BA (Hons) Studio Practice (Fine Art) (Top - Up)

UCA'S one-year BA (Hons) Studio Practice top-up degree in Fine Art provides you with the opportunity to bring together your thinking and developing ideas with the aim of consolidating your contemporary artistic practice.

This course allows you to devise and follow your own individual work program in the guise of a Final Major Project, where you demonstrate your professional attitude and commitment, capacity for self-evaluation and effective synthesis of your ideas.

In the first half of the year, you will be asked to develop a body of research and practice in order to generate a critical piece of writing that begins to articulate key themes and directions of interest as well as a look forward to the work you want to make and how you will develop these ideas for the final major project. The second half of the year involves the production of a major project which is exhibited as a final Degree Show and Portfolio that you will take from the course to form the basis of your professional body of work as newly graduated and as an emerging Fine Artist.

Across the course you'll also have access to professional practice seminars and guidance to help you create your portfolio in preparation for graduation.
