The Art major develops learners’ competencies in Visual Art through courses in studio practice and critical studies, enabling you to become confident and independent practitioners. Learning is conducted through a wide range of visual art courses spanning 2D and 3D media, contemporary digital technologies, and art theories. Courses are taught by accomplished artists and experts in the field in well-equipped, purpose-built studios. The programme will culminate with an Arts-based research project where you will develop your personal artistic voice and create a body of works for public exhibition.
