The Fine Arts are not simply a field of study, but a vocation. Students at the undergraduate level can choose to pursue either the four-year B.A. (Fine Arts) degree or a three-year Diploma in Fine Arts.
An education in Fine Arts contributes to the development of a student’s creativity, imagination, innovative thinking, critical ability and visual literacy. A wide variety of career possibilities await the graduate, primarily in the worlds of art, advertising, museums and education.
Both B.A. (Fine Art) and Diploma courses involve the following disciplines: Drawing; History of Art; Painting; Printmaking; and Sculpture. An additional mandatory subsidiary subject (such as a language) can be completed within the first two years of study. For those students wishing to incorporate alternative or new media in the arts, a multi-disciplinary approach is available in the senior years of study. The Department’s has well-equipped studios where students are taught by practicing artists who are expected to participate and excel at local, national and international levels.
