The Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) (Honours) supports and develops students capacity as a practicing artist and active researcher in the field of contemporary art.
This degree is designed for students who have successfully completed a three-year degree in contemporary art or craft, or an equivalent field, and who wish to undertake a further year of study to focus exclusively on an individual project.
At this level of study, students will engage with high-level intensive subjects, deepening and enriching students practice through expertise, knowledge and criticality. Students will be guided through personalised mentorship and individual supervision, as they are introduced to practice-led research and research methodologies. A flexible curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop an individual project and to further their knowledge and capability for professional or highly skilled art practice, and/or further learning at a postgraduate level.
The degree is designed as a full-year course of study to build upon previous undergraduate studies, with a refined contemporary art project as a final outcome. Consequently, having devised an informed and rigorous contemporary art practice, alumni are ready for high levels of practice and are regularly involved in local, national and international art events, or in undertaking a postgraduate research degree.
