The BA (Hons) Fine Art programme at University Centre at Blackburn College provides a platform for both traditional and contemporary art practice.
The Fine Art degree facilitates opportunities for our students to make art works in any media, engage in practice led research and develop their practice as critically engaged participants in the local, national and indeed global community.
Engagement takes place in large, bright, purpose built Victorian drawing studios, a modern University Centre, a student run gallery space in the heart of Blackburn, in the town itself and in cities across the country.
Equal value is placed by staff and students on both analogue and digital process and outcomes, with workshops that are an exciting mix of traditional print making, sculpture, photography and painting that allow the best traditional processes to be explored alongside digital image making, moving image production, audio recording and television studio access that allows students to develop an individual practice in any media appropriate to their work.
