Contemporary Fine Art Diploma

Our Contemporary Fine Art Diploma is for people serious about studying Fine Art who are able to commit time to it. It’s ideal for people wanting to become professional artists or those who really want to develop their own art practice.

The programme supports you to find your artistic voice, whilst teaching you skills in any discipline through the Academy’s extensive Elective Skills Workshop offer, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, digital media and installation.

Contemporary Portraiture Diploma

The Contemporary Portraiture Diploma is for people serious about studying Fine Art, who want to specialise in portraiture and figurative painting and who are able to commit time to it. It’s ideal for people wanting to become professional portrait or figurative artists or those who really want to develop their own art practice.

The programme supports you to develop your own artistic voice whilst teaching you to develop and hone, to a very high standard, skills in the exacting discipline of contemporary portraiture.

Fine Art Foundation

Our Foundation Year is suitable for students preparing for undergraduate study, or those wanting to join one of our Diplomas who have had limited previous art training. You’ll be supported to develop your own ideas in Studio Practice sessions with our Foundation year tutors, learn skills in any discipline through our extensive skills workshop course offer whilst also studying an introduction to art history and theory.

You can study full time on the Foundation Year (three days a week for a year) or part time (two days a week for two years). You’ll be expected to do your own work outside the taught classes in both options.

Certificate Programmes

The Certificate Programmes offer skills only training – ideal if you’re serious about developing your technical skills but have limited time. These programmes are suitable both for people near the beginning of their artistic journeys and for people with more experience who are looking for high quality, skills based fine art training.

You’ll choose from our extensive Elective Skills Workshop course (ESW) offer, which provides training in all disciplines including painting, drawing, print making, sculpture and digital media, taught by professional artists who are experts in their fields. The programme changes every year. Each course takes place one day a week over a term.
