The Fine Art BA (Hons) at the University of Chester invites you to explore and expand your creative potential within a dynamic studio environment. This undergraduate degree is designed for aspiring artists who wish to develop their unique visual language through diverse media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, textiles, and time-based practices. You will engage with both speculative and experimental approaches, underpinned by critical theory that examines art from historical and contemporary perspectives. This course is ideal if you are passionate about making art and eager to reflect on your processes and outcomes.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, your journey will involve core studio practice projects at Levels 4, 5, and 6, progressing from foundational techniques to developing your own studio briefs. You will gain practical experience through workshop inductions, learn specialist techniques, and have opportunities for a placement module at Level 5 to consider employability. In your final year, you will define and undertake an in-depth research essay and an individual degree show exhibition. You will graduate with a strong portfolio, critical understanding, and preparedness for professional practice in the arts.
