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

Further develop practical skills and explore new and emerging art forms. Be stimulated by internationally respected staff and take part in a wide variety of exhibitions and events both at the University and abroad with BA Fine Art.

Designed for students joining from art access courses, including art foundation, students will have the opportunity to build on their practical skills and explore the theory and history of art at Reading School of Art. Benefit from a distinct approach to the subject, combining practice, theory and history – especially in contemporary art.

There is a heavy focus on exhibitions, and regular field trips to national and international museums, art institutions and galleries will give students the chance to consider the diverse conditions in which art is created, displayed and received. Gain professional experience by taking part in one's own exhibitions, public art commissions and events. Open debate and constructive criticism are actively encouraged and students will openly discuss their work with peers and teaching staff.

Students are also expected to undertake placement opportunities. Past students have enjoyed internships at Studio Voltaire and Frieze Art Fair. Others have performed at the ICA, taken part in an Arts Council-supported film project at the Museum of English Rural Life and participated in an international exhibition at the Seoul Institute of Arts in South Korea.
