Why study this course with us?- At Chester you have an opportunity to undertake a 5 to 8 week placement in Spain or Costa Rica at the end of Year 2 (Level 5). You will also have the opportunity to complete an academic year inÊ Spain or Latin America. This allows you to split your experience abroad between two countries and to spend time in both Spain and another Spanish speaking country.
- In your first year during the Fine Art and Spanish programme offered by the University of Chester, you will have the opportunity to study a further language from scratch.
- The diverse nature of contemporary Fine Art 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.
