Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Fine Art (with Foundation Year)

Program Description The combined 4 year programme allows students with lower academic marks, or whose qualifications are not equivalent to British A Levels, to gain the necessary qualifications to proceed to undergraduate study. After completing the Foundation Year, students will be eligible to progress to a number of University of Chester undergraduate programmes. This practice based course allows students to explore and experience Fine Art within a contemporary context and includes possibilities in painting and drawing, sculpture, new and lens based media, textiles, printmaking and interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary studio contexts. Studio Practice is underpinned by the relationship between theory and practice, with a view to students becoming an informed practitioner in charge of the trajectory of their practice, research and thinking. Students will have the opportunity to publically exhibit their work during all three years of the course and work on placements and live projects, thus enhancing their employability and transferable skills.
