The BA (Hons) Fine Art program encourages students to explore their creativity, ideas, and instincts within a vibrant community of artists, thinkers, and makers. It champions a 'thinking through making' approach, fostering experimentation and discovery through hands-on projects, critical discussions, and collaboration. This develops both practical skills and creative thinking, supporting independent, ethical, and sustainable artistic practices. Graduates are prepared for diverse contemporary creative careers and can shape their unique paths as artists. The course provides access to extensive facilities, including printmaking, 3D studios, a foundry, life drawing studios, painting studios, and virtual reality resources. Students also gain professional skills in promoting and selling their work, curation, contracts, costing, and networking, supported by strong links with regional and national galleries.
The curriculum is structured to build skills and understanding progressively, with a focus on practical application and theoretical context. Students engage in core units and projects designed to foster experimentation, critical thinking, and professional development.
