Fine Art (Hons) Oxford Brookes University

Overview

The Fine Art (Hons) programme at the Oxford Brookes University will introduce you to a range of practices that link traditional skills and approaches with alternative media such as sound, video and installation. 

You will develop imaginative and informed fine art practice and the ability to analyse and discuss contemporary art.

The Professional Practice module will help to strengthen your practical and professional skills, preparing you for employment, further study, or self-employment.

Many of our graduates work as self-employed artists. Others go on to careers in:

• teaching
• arts administration
• art therapy
• journalism
• other roles in the creative industries.

Career prospects

Many of our graduates continue to work as artists, generating their own projects as well as working for others through commission or on community-based projects. Others go on to careers as teachers, arts administrators, art therapists and arts journalists, or continue their studies at postgraduate level.

A supportive and intellectually challenging environment is provided to enable you to:

• develop into a confident, reflective and self-motivated graduate

• become a skilled and practical maker, exhibiting high levels of professionalism

• acquire skills that will enable you to thrive in the art world and wider society

• learn to articulate your views and ideas, and to communicate clearly about your work and the work of others.

The professional strand of the course will enable you to maximise these skills for employment, postgraduate education or self-employment and will provide you with opportunities to engage with a range of arts-related professionals.
