Course summary

This course will help you to find your own identity as an artist through the development of core skills and practical techniques.

The course is focused on making and critical thinking, and you can concentrate on a single discipline or work across a number of disciplines and media. Your practical work will support a growing critical and contextual understanding of the theory of art and culture.

Taught by practicing artists of international standing, our academic staff exhibit and publish nationally and internationally. In 2015 Fine Art lecturer Graham Fagen represented Scotland at the Venice Biennale (one of the most prestigious cultural exhibitions in the world).

  • plaster / bronze / resin casting

  • woodworking

  • the presentation of artworks

  • methods and materials of painting and painting surfaces

  • screen-printing

  • 3D printing

  • interactive programming

Contextual admissions

We understand grades are influenced by things outside your control, such as the impact of deprivation where you live. That’s why each year we look at each student's application in detail including circumstances outside of your control that may have impacted your potential.
