BA (Hons) Fine Art (Combined)

Placing you firmly in a contemporary, interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary studio context the Fine Art programme delivers a broad range of experiences informing your growing autonomy as an artist through the programme. You will gain practical and research based skills and your practice will be informed by theory and context. The course will help you develop into an autonomous artist with the potential of working across or specialising in media areas including painting and drawing, printmaking, textiles, new media and sculpture. Placement opportunities and a level 6 Professional Practice module provide experience and opportunity vital to graduate employability or postgraduate study.

The diverse and exciting nature of contemporary Fine Art is represented in the design and delivery of the course within a supportive and creative environment. The emphasis of the programme is on practice, (in the region of 75%), underpinned by a strong art historical and theoretical element placing your work and thinking within a contemporary context.

Opportunities for external placements, live projects and elements of professional practice provide the course with a ‘real-life’ edge, affording you to consider the nature of the visual creative you could become, and equally how your undergraduate experience might inform and support future employment and postgraduate opportunities. You will have access to well equipped workshops for drawing and painting, video editing and photographic production, sculptural fabrication and construction, textiles manipulation and construction, printmaking, casting and foundry operation. At level 4 you will gain vital conceptual and practical skills through workshop based projects and at level 5 and 6 have your own studio space in which to develop your practice.

There is regular tutorial and teaching contact with academic staff many of whom are practitioners and researchers of national and international standing, bringing an informed, current and diverse approach to your undergraduate Fine Art experience.
