Fine Art

Newcastle’s reputation as an art school is built on inspirational teaching, excellent studio and workshop facilities, and world-leading research and art practice by its staff.

Newcastle has a thriving art scene with numerous artists’ studios and galleries, including our very own renowned Hatton Gallery. The Fine Art department is at the centre of this and provides a supportive, challenging and inspiring environment in which to study Fine Art.

Our teaching staff are engaged with internationally recognised contemporary art practice and art history, generated at the nexus of established and new practices, technologies and methodologies. This vibrant, creative culture provides the basis for our excellent teaching.

We encourage students to be imaginative and creative, to question orthodoxies, to cross boundaries, and to make their own mark in the contemporary art world.

Based at the very heart of Newcastle University's city-centre campus, the art school provides students, from undergraduate to postgraduate, with excellent workshops and studio spaces, support by excellent technicians, and a superb programme of Visiting Artists and art-skills workshops.

Our Fine Art department is a supportive and inspiring place for students from diverse backgrounds to make their mark on the contemporary art world. We're committed to supporting the full range of traditional, contemporary and emerging studio-based practices in Fine Art; whether a student is working with painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, performance, film and video, digital media, or installation, we provide a unique level and quality of support.
