Studying Fine Art can prepare you for a life in art but also offers the chance to acquire essential skills in; self-direction, time management, adaptability and creativeness. It equips you for entering the professional world as a self-employed artist (working to commission etc), but it should be remembered that many employers are looking for creative artists; i.e. being a teacher or technician in school/college, museum & gallery education/press/admin/curation, Arts in Health etc, and our graduates have shown themselves more than capable of moving into other creative industries such as design, graphics, illustration, marketing, communications, support services etc. The undergraduate programme is also a springboard for further study and qualification including Postgraduate study, Art Therapy and Teacher Training.

chi.ac.uk/artanddesignDEPARTMENT OF FINE ART

There are so many aspects in the art department that I love. The tutors and technicians really engage with your work; they know your goals and understand who you are as an artist. My painting practice has grown so much in the last couple of years. I’m really excited about the degree show in the summer. Chloe, BA (Hons) Fine Art

The University of Chichester has been welcoming and accessible to me for my entire journey. All my questions and the help I needed have been met with respect and kindness. The University has an overwhelming sense of community. I have found the course very flexible and incredibly interesting, with opportunities to experiment and fully explore my abilities.
