As an art student at the College of Creative Arts you’ll be producing work that makes us think and feel, act and react, whatever your mode of art-making - performative, digital, object-based, lens-based, paint, print, installation, film. Through intensive studio engagement you’ll experience a wide range of approaches to making art, and develop your own unique practice. With a programme that is not media-specific, focusing on the methods and ideas of contemporary art production, you are encouraged to make bodies of new work that are responsive to a variety of contexts, supported by technical workshops that assist you to develop the practical skills you need. Like our staff, you can work across sculpture, painting, drawing, performance, installation, moving image, photography, printmaking, site-responsive work, curatorial activities and art writing. The BFA will stretch you, ground you in art theory and immerse you in art-making. The BFA prepares you for any career that requires creativity, resilience, determination, critical thinking, problem-solving and attention to technical excellence.

Careers The Bachelor of Fine Arts can be an entrance to professional fine arts practice, or it may lead to a variety of career opportunities in allied fields. These can include art education, arts administration, and key involvement in creative industries where problem-solving skills are in demand. Graduates may also continue on to postgraduate studies in fine arts to further develop their fine arts abilities, knowledge, research interests, and skills.
