This course is different from many other fine art courses because it encourages you to explore and experiment with many different art forms. You will develop your own, highly individual programme of study, with the freedom to engage with a wide range of art practices, and historical and critical discourses. Critical and professional studies run alongside your studio practice, which will enable you to project your work into contemporary artistic and professional contexts. To enhance your experience, we organise visits to galleries and museums in the UK and abroad for every level of the course (additional costs apply for trips).

Graduates have progressed to careers in arts administration, studio practice, community arts, public art, gallery curatorship, youth projects, postgraduate teacher training and arts in health. Graduation from this course can also lead to postgraduate study at the University of South Wales or elsewhere. Recognising the need for our graduates to be able to stand out in a competitive jobs market, the University of South Wales has developed a series of employability initiatives that exist within each academic Faculty.
