This course provides an opportunity for students to work alongside Internationally acclaimed artists and lecturers to explore the expanding and forever evolving field of contemporary fine art practice. This course creates a learning environment whereby a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary opportunities exist. This articulation between concept and media is a fundamental characteristic of the Marts Fine Art course at UWTSD Swansea. Students would be expected to enrol on a four-year (480-credit) programme but with the option to leave with a BA(Hons) once 360 credits have been achieved. The fourth year is designed to facilitate the creation of creative enterprises or collaborative working with industry. The programme aims to educate creative individuals proficient in meeting the needs of contemporary and future demand. The programme is underpinned by the Research and Knowledge Transfer activities of the faculty as a whole.

Many of our students have gained employment with established galleries including the Mission Gallery, Glynn Vivian, Oriel Bach and Elysium Gallery. The course encourages students to establish a business as Artist/Designer. Entrepreneurship is fundamental to level 7 of this course.
