Our BA (Hons) Fine Art is a four-year, intensive, studio-based programme designed to support you in developing your approach to creative practice and a critical understanding of contemporary culture.
You will work closely with specialist staff to take multiple approaches to your creative work and will develop an understanding of how fine art is produced, experienced and valued in society.
Our programme will help to shape you as an artist while introducing you to the many other creative, critical and cultural possibilities within the diverse and evolving field of contemporary fine art.
We welcome all students who are interested in:
- the creative process
- the many practices and contexts of contemporary fine art
- exploring the process of becoming an artist
We do not expect you to arrive as a fully formed artist, or to display a particular technical aptitude: we want to work with you to develop your confidence in these areas.
Programme benefits
- Our studio-based programme establishes an inclusive and exciting studio culture which supports communities of peers to co-develop one another’s learning. You will get hands-on experience of how to use a studio space and develop relevant practices using a studio space.
- Our holistic approach to balancing and integrating practical and contextual studies of contemporary fine art prepares you for work across a range of related creative and cultural sectors.
- Experience specialist research-led teaching from internationally renowned practitioners who are practising artists, curators, and theorists.
- Experience a dynamic and evolving curriculum that encourages you to pursue paths of complimentary study and make use of a huge range of world-class facilities and resources across the wider ECA and the University of Edinburgh.
- Our programme provides a wide variety of event-based learning including visiting artist talks, workshops, exhibitions, screenings, special events, gallery visits, day trips, an overseas trip, projects with external organisations, and graduate shows.
- In Year 3 of your programme you have the option to study abroad at a range of internationally renowned institutions.
