The BA (Hons) Fine Art at Arts University Bournemouth invites you to explore the expansive world of contemporary art practice, offering a dynamic environment to test diverse approaches or specialise in your chosen medium. You will engage with experimental workshops in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, video, digital media, and sonic arts, building a robust foundation in material exploration and conceptual development. This undergraduate degree is ideal for aspiring artists eager to contribute to a vibrant fine art community and push the boundaries of creative expression within a purpose-built studio setting.
This full-time, on-campus degree, studied over three years, balances intensive practical work with critical theory. You will progress from broad experimentation in your first year to defining your practice and positioning your work within industry contexts in your second, with opportunities for study abroad and work experience. In your final year, you will consolidate your focused practice, culminating in two degree exhibitions, one at AUB and one in London, providing a significant springboard into professional life. You will graduate with a refined artistic voice and a portfolio ready for a career in the fine art sector.
