BFA in Fine Art
Duration3 Years
LevelBachelors Program
  • The BFA is a three-year, studio-based course in which students work alongside each other in collaboratively organized studios
  • It allows students to engage with the diversity of disciplines that shape contemporary art, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation, video, sound, performance and other experimental forms
  • 75% of the course is dedicated to studio practice and 25% to the history & theory of visual culture. The two components of the course are closely integrated, and the historical and theoretical study of art is taught both in the lecture rooms and in the studios
  • Students are initially encouraged to work across all media and then to develop their own focus and interests during the final two years of the course
  • The Ruskin course aims to develop strong independent points of view and a mature grasp of the range of critical debate surrounding contemporary art and its many international histories
