The Painting programme focuses on developing confident, enquiring, resilient students.

You will be able to research and articulate your practice, and question your position, and that of painting, within the wider context of contemporary visual culture.

We put emphasis on drawing and research through visual thinking at all levels. Work can also be realised through practices such as:

  • printmaking
  • artists' books
  • installation
  • digital and lens-based media
