Outline:

The Fine Art Painting and Drawing (Top-Up) BA (Hons) year comprises three modules: the theory module, a career-development module, and the practice based studio art module which is core of the years’ experience. This module culminates with a large public exhibition. Students continue to consolidate, deepen and refine their own personal visual and theoretical position, culminating in a high-quality public exhibition at the end of the year. This is supported by regular individual tutorials and group class. Alongside practical work students undertake a critical study, which includes a dissertation option along with a number of other approaches. The Professional Practice and Employability module continues on from the stage 2 Professional Studies module. Again, the various choices mean our students can select the option, which is of greatest interest and use to them individually (either academically or in terms of employability).
