Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Fine Art (Placement Year) (W101)

Loughborough University's Fine Arts Bachelor of Arts (Honours) offers an exciting way for students to investigate, participate in, and contribute ideas to, the field of contemporary art. It uses both practical and theoretical classes to develop students' unique and individual artistic abilities, and fosters their creative skills by developing their critical and analytical insight. The Fine Arts program emphasizes the relationship between thinking and making, enabling cognitive skills to be intrinsic to studio-based practice, where exceptional facilities and expertise supports a range of fine art practices, ranging from drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, moving image, installation and photography to performance practices.

With particular focus on the connections between art, culture and politics, in relation to the public sphere, sustainability, environmental aesthetics, and identity in a global community, a degree in Fine Arts provides students with a wide array of transferable skills and employment opportunities within a wide sphere of the creative industries.

Alongside the freedom for students to express their imaginative ideas using a variety of media, the program is fully supported by practicing artists and research intensive staff who help develop their thinking, respond to their work and challenge them to understand the wider cultural and critical fields within which it resides. We have strong connections with LU Arts, Loughborough University’s arts programme, who work closely with the Fine Art course, offering opportunities to participate in events, artists’ talks and exhibitions.
