Course summary

This is a four year degree taught at our Creative Campus. The Foundation Year aims to develop your skills so that after a year, you will be equipped with the necessary skills needed for studying the full BA Hons degree programme.

Our Fine Art degree is for those who have the desire to work hard and the ability to explore ideas through a wide range of media. The course is driven by its core aim; to encourage and enable you to engage with issues and practices across a broad Fine Art spectrum, from the historical to the contemporary.

The degree is delivered through three main components: Studio Practice, Art and Design History and Professional Practice. This combination of studies will equip you with the essential skills to establish yourself as a professional artist, or work in the wider creative industries. You will have access to excellent dedicated studios and workshops with a good balance of traditional and new media. Through recent partnerships with cultural organisations such as Tate Liverpool, FACT (Foundation for Art & Creative Technologies) and National Museums Liverpool, you can experience an enriched curriculum with visiting lecturers and international artists contributing to your learning experience.
