Develop your skills as a professional artist or creative professional by embarking on this four-year degree at the prestigious UCL Slade School of Fine Art. The practice-based Fine Art BA incorporates painting, fine art media and sculpture, as well as history and theory of art. You’ll be taught by practising artists and scholars, enjoy dedicated studio space, and have access to London’s vast cultural resources. Graduates go on to careers as artists or find employment in the performance and creative arts sector. 


The course offers expertise in three practice areas: Painting, Fine Art Media and Sculpture. The course is practice-based, and you explore each area on rotation during the first term, attending crits (critical feedback) in each area. You select one area and initiate and develop your own programme of work with tutorial guidance and technical support.   


Cross-area seminars and tutorial groups ensure that the three practice areas have a forum for the exchange of ideas. You also benefit from a programme of visiting artists, gallery visits and other events that aim to develop exciting and rigorous debate. Areas/years are mixed together in the studio spaces, providing a lively cross-fertilisation of ideas and practice.
