Key Course Facts
Course Description
For the consecutive year, SGS has been voted number 1 for overall degree satisfaction in Bristol! (National Student Survey 2020 and 2021)
This degree in Fine Art is taught at our Stroud School of Art. Stroud has a very creative community and there are lots of opportunities for students to get involved within the wider artisitic community. This degree offers students the chance to engage with contemporary fine art practice and its relationship to the broader cultural and creative industries. Students will have the opportunity to experiment and specialise in a range of different media including printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, lens-based processes, installation, 3D processes (including ceramics), performance, photography, digital processes, film and sound. The degree is built around taught workshops, independent studio/workshop activities, seminars, tutorials and lectures. It requires students to engage with research and written work as well as design and making. It is a very practical degree and students' work is assessed via practical and course work. There are no formal written examinations. The Foundation Degree is a qualification in its own right and is equivalent to the first 2 years of a degree. Most of our students progress onto our 1 year programme at Bristol School of Art to complete their full degree.
