The BA (Hons) Fine Art programme offered by the Birmingham City University provides specialist education through a stimulating and structured curriculum that gives the opportunities for students to acquire creative expertise, articulate ideas while extending, developing and applying intellectual, technical, practical, and communication skills to a professional standard. It enables the exploration and effective application of a wide range of creative, practical, technical, and research skills, including flexible approaches to learning and practising as well as the capacity to be independent. The programme also provides an educational opportunity where contemporary fine art is understood within local and international contexts, thereby providing learners with the ability to respond to the broad range of historical, social, cultural, and global factors that have influenced and determined the production and reception of artwork.
