Fine Art Four Year BA (Hons)
If you’re looking to study Fine Art as a degree subject, but your portfolio isn’t quite ready or want to gain a better range of art skills, then the four-year BA (Hons) Fine Art course at UCA Canterbury is for you.
The first year of this course provides you with the building blocks you’ll need to develop a range of skills and begin identifying your own styles, preferences and practice. You’ll be introduced to ways of making and thinking, that will enable you to put your new-found skills into exciting projects to help to establish your ideas and your artistic identity. You’ll explore disciplines such as painting, sculpture, installation, photography, film, sound, performance, animation and printmaking, to suit your interests.
Upon successful completion of year 0, your place on the three-year degree programme will be secured without further application or interview.
Alongside your practice, our course ensures you’ll be equipped with the transferable skills and attitudes to support your development. This includes theoretical and critical understanding of fine art as well as important business knowledge, networking opportunities and self-promotion techniques, to give you a strong foundation to build your career. There’ll also be many opportunities to meet other students and develop friendships.
Thanks to the course’s strong industry links, you’ll also have access to respected names in the creative industries, including Margate-based arts organisations Crate and Limbo, Turner Contemporary, the Beany Institute Canterbury, and the Dover Arts Development.
You’ll be distinguished by your creativity, ability to cope with change, and a hardworking, flexible attitude to work. For this reason, our graduates can be found working in graduate level roles within and beyond the creative industries.
