Why study this course with us?

• You will work in a Ôhands-onÕ multidisciplinary learning environment. Our curriculum has been developed to educate in the art and science of visual communication with an emphasis on professional practice and skills acquisition, while also encouraging creative risk-taking and experimentation. Your learning will be supported within a setting that provokes creative experiences, embracing communication design as a social and commercial activity.
• The diverse nature of contemporary Fine Art and Graphic Design at the University of Chester is represented in the design and delivery of the course within a supportive environment; whilst the emphasis is on practice, this is underpinned by a strong theoretical element.
• Opportunities for placements and elements of professional practice provide the course with a Ôreal-lifeÕ edge, affording you to consider the nature of the Fine Artist you could become. Media area workshops are well resourced and all Fine Art students are allocated studio spaces.
• There is regular tutorial and teaching contact with academic staff many of whom are practitioners and researchers of national and international standing.
