Course Overview

Our course encourages a wide variety of creative approaches that operate either within established disciplines or across the boundaries of artistic media. It is particularly distinctive in welcoming students who are interested in positioning textile materials and processes within a contemporary fine art context.

Fine art students are highly imaginative creative and critical thinkers who have a range of specialist and transferable skills that equip them for careers within the creative industries and beyond. Recent graduates from the course are working within education, within museums and galleries, as artists, or have undertaken doctoral research.
