On this exciting and challenging undergraduate degree, you'll be taught in dedicated studios by internationally renowned practicing artists, curators and writers who are passionate about art and teaching.

The course prides itself on being friendly, student centered with a focus on developing the students' own ideas, skills and knowledge. You'll study alongside a socially diverse mix of ambitious and prolific fellow art students and will associate with architect, designer, photography, and creative writing students.

The course structure allows the student to construct a unique and personal creative identity through fine art practice, based on the student's interests, concerns, ideas, experiences, background and identity.
