Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Fine Art] From Cardiff Metropolitan University

The BA in Fine Arts (Hons) at Cardiff Metropolitan University takes rare and special ability to become a fine artist. You need both technical skill and creative insight to produce work that conveys an original perspective.

A wider view is a crucial part of your evolution as an artist. You explore the intricate connections between ideas and intention through materials, practice and philosophy. And you gain insights from art history and critical theory, and apply them directly to your work.

Be ambitious, disciplined and motivated in your practice Ð and youÕll graduate with the skills, confidence and critical ability to begin your career as a professional artist.

Employability & Careers?:

Whilst your learning is designed to develop you into a rounded and capable artist and intellectual, your curriculum is similarly structured with your potential in mind.

As such, the emphasis that will have been placed upon your work ethic, both creatively and academically, is matched with significant focus on real world experience; from building contacts and undertaking placements to live briefs and, should you choose so, support in forming your own business.

You can elect to tak?e a route through your second and final years of studies where you can engage with businesses or prepare to launch your own for the moment you graduate. In your final year, rather than submit a dissertation, you have the option of devising a detailed business plan.

Throughout your time at CSAD, you will be meeting and hearing from professionals within your industry, honing your skills and ideas for commercial and professional advantage. Cross-disciplinary projects will prepare you for teamwork later on, whilst live briefs will prepare you for deadlines and the demands of tight specifications.
