Fine Art with Learning & Teaching in Higher Education MA: Who teaches this course

• Staff teaching on this course

The Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture teaches this course. The Faculty has its roots in the studio-based approach of Britain's art school system (the original School of Art was founded in the 1890s).

Today, most of your learning still takes place in our specialist studios. Each subject area has its own fully-equipped studio, where you take part in classes, tutorials and critical reviews with fellow students. This strong studio culture also ensures regular interaction between students and tutors.

Our industry connections mean we provide unique study opportunities, such as:

• the chance to have your work seen by eminent members of your profession
• 'live' projects, site visits and placements in prestigious companies or institutions
• project work and workshops with visiting lecturers and industry specialists

Our excellent reputation means that industry leaders regularly visit our student shows to see the best of the new talent.

Where is the Faculty based? Most students in the Faculty are based at the University's Knights Park campus, with surveying courses based at Penrhyn Road. Our well-equipped facilities offer a modern study environment so that you graduate with cutting-edge skills and knowledge.
