Course overview
With a focus on fine art, this course aims to help you to develop into an independent, creative practitioner with the ability to create exciting artworks through explorations and experimentations, in both ideas and materials. As a broad introduction to concepts, contexts, techniques, and technologies, you’ll be encouraged to draw upon existing knowledge. By doing so, you’ll establish the frameworks within which to operate as a creative practitioner, through the exploration of painting, drawing, installation, film, photography, and digital art.
On this flexible Fine Art degree course, you’ll be taught by tutors who are practising artists. You’ll be able to develop the techniques and skill required to pursue a post-university interest or career in a host of roles. By studying Fine Art at the University of Huddersfield you’ll get to work from our state-of-the-art Barbara Hepworth Building, which features collaborative studio spaces, advanced photography and CAD studios and a high-quality digital print centre.
During this Fine Art degree, you’ll be given the support you need to translate your ideas, however complex or ambitious, onto paper, film, or whichever media you’re using.
