Fine Art BA

Amazing support network

I wanted to be at a university close to home, and the Fine Art course was rated as one of the best in the country.

I really liked the fact it was a 4-year course. It allowed an extra year for development and meant I wasn't having to write my dissertation and prepare for my degree show at the same time.

The social side of university

I joined the Socksoc Society during my 2nd year which allowed me to make friends with people outside of the art department. I later went on to be part of the committee during my 4th year.
