The BA Fine Arts programme prepares versatile and creative students with confidence and the ability to develop their fine art identity.
The main purpose of the course is to teach students the fundamentals and principles of art through different academic, practical and critical approaches to help them expanding their artistic knowledge and understanding.
The degree programme is for students who want to expertise in fine art and study full time. It is encouraging students to work individually and in collaboration with their peers always with guidance of their tutors.
Studio practice provides students with the essential artistic knowledge and give them the opportunity to work with different practical workshops and helps them develop practical skills through an ongoing learning experience. Studio practice is essential and pivotal for the development of creative individuals and encourages shared and individual learning to develop critical thinking and evaluation.
The research labs and online libraries are fully equipped with up-to-date equipment and trained staff to support students on a daily basis.
The critical studies are designed to provide theoretical support to the practical work. The theoretical studies introduce students’ key points of important aspects of the contemporary art practice through an ongoing exploration of principles and movements of art history. Students will develop critical thinking and understanding on various topics through lectures, seminars and writings.
Each year students will be allocated in their personal space and tutor and will be given different assignments as part of their practical studies. In their last year students will be asked to write and execute their final major project and work more independently.
Staff is fully equipped and well trained to support the students individually and on a weekly basis.
The programme provides communication and graduation skills.
