The Fine Art BA at Nottingham Trent University invites you to explore the dynamic world of contemporary artistic practice and its role in society. This undergraduate degree is designed for aspiring artists who are driven by curiosity and a desire to develop a self-directed, critical practice across diverse media, including installation, painting, sculpture, and digital forms. You will engage with the vibrant artistic landscape of Nottingham, a city recognised for its thriving network of galleries and artist-led initiatives, preparing you for a meaningful career in the arts.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, this programme balances foundational workshops with increasingly independent exploration. You will develop your practice through projects that encourage experimentation, ethical considerations, and staging work in various exhibition contexts, including a final year showcase. Through modules like "Writing Contemporary Art" and collaborative "Co Lab" projects, you will hone your research, analytical, and professional skills. You will graduate with a substantial portfolio and a clear understanding of your position within the contemporary art world, ready for postgraduate study or a professional artistic career.
