Course summary
This vibrant course is equivalent to the first two years of a university degree, offering students a broad range of artistic skills and techniques. From printmaking, life drawing, textiles, and jewellery design to mixed-media exploration, photography, painting, and 3D design, students gain hands-on experience across multiple disciplines. They will develop independence, collaborate on projects, and curate exhibitions in our David Gentleman Gallery and other venues. Students will also organize artist workshops, learn branding and marketing strategies, and prepare for employment in the creative industries. The HND Fine Art provides a fresh approach to art and design, emphasizing professional opportunities within the creative industries. This multi-disciplinary program equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in one of the world’s most dynamic economic sectors. Balancing technical expertise with broad employability skills, the course offers 2D and 3D workshops in state-of-the-art studios, complemented by individual and group tutorials to foster self-directed practice. Students will engage with practitioners, participate in live briefs and visits, and exhibit their work in our professional contemporary art gallery, preparing them for a successful career in the arts.
Assessment method
One of the key advantages of our course is the smaller class sizes compared to universities, allowing for a more personalised and focused learning experience. We emphasize strong 1-to-1 teaching, ensuring that you receive the individual attention and support needed to excel in your studies and projects. Your work will be continually assessed throughout the course. Through 1:1 tutorials you will be given feedback and guidance throughout the different stages of the projects. The final assessment will depend upon the module being studied. Typical assessment methods include a combination of practical work submissions, written assignments, digital portfolios, and PowerPoint presentations.
