Experienced Lecturers

Nothing beats real world experience. Learn from real-world practitioners, their inside knowledge and contacts and leverage their insights into the Fine Art field. You'll draw from their combined creativity to develop your own practice.

Dedicated Studios

Fine Art studies have a dedicated and unique space to work. Each student is offered a personal studio space, generous art supplies and technicians on hand to guide you in your work. This cultivates a special student community environment and a sense of common purpose.

Art in Practice

Your work doesn't happen in secret - each year we organise tours & trips to broaden your appreciation of other genres and styles. We exhibit your work both on campus and through our affiliations and contacts with galleries and exhibition spaces.

How We Work
