This course will give you an immersive visual arts experience, where you'll be able to explore a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking and digital art. Plus you'll gain skills in contextual studies and safety and sustainability in the visual arts.
You'll study in our excellent art and craft facilities and benefit from our long history of delivering training in the creative industries.
