The programme of study in Fine Arts you provide you with the academic opportunity to learn about the array of fine arts in its variety of practical and artistic applications. By learning about the historical and traditional art of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods, you will be well equipped to understand how Modern art carries on, builds upon or debunks the artistic expressions of past centuries. By learning about key artistic historic figures and their unique contributions, you will gain a deeper cultural appreciation for different impacted art forms, as you will have the chance to learn about the art modes of photography and sculpting in both practice and theory. We also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme, for a more holistic and multicultural academic journey.
