Our course is designed to provide you with a high-quality education in contemporary art practice, and is delivered by highly respected tutors, acclaimed artists and excellent technicians.

Over the duration of the course, you'll develop your individual artistic voice, informed through your own research and critical evaluation, peer and tutor feedback and a deep understanding of your chosen materials. When you graduate, you'll be fully equipped to contribute and add something new to the UKs art scene as an emerging artist.

Exhibiting and being enterprising is a key part of our course. We offer many opportunities for you to exhibit your work with an emphasis on site-specific locations thanks to our unique partnerships with local museums, councils and research centres. We also have a series of international student artist residency placements and worldwide partner university study exchanges. All these experiences are specially created by our tutors to give you a real sense of what it means to be a professional artist – both in the studio and the broader world.

In the first year, you'll work in open plan studios and participate in collective workshops to find what inspires and excites you as an artist. In the following years, you'll develop your practical, theoretical and critical skills within your self-defined study plans.

Placement year

All undergraduate courses at AUB offer an optional placement year, to be taken between your second and third years of study.
