Course Start

September 2027

Two creative specialists. One future-defining partnership.

Students starting an undergraduate degree at Norwich University of the Arts from September 2027 will graduate with a degree jointly awarded by Norwich and the Royal College of Art. Find out more about the partnership.

BA (Hons) Fine Art champions ‘thinking through making’, encouraging you to explore, experiment and discover as you create. Through hands-on projects, critical discussion and collaboration, you’ll develop both practical skills and creative thinking. This approach supports independent, ethical and sustainable practice, preparing you for a wide range of contemporary creative futures.

You will shape your distinctive career path as an artist and join generations of graduates who have achieved national and international success. Whatever your choice of medium, we will encourage and support you in developing your practice and a substantial portfolio. You’ll have access to the tools you need to make and create, including printmaking facilities, 3D studios and a foundry, our historic Munnings Life Drawing Studio, painting studios and augmented and virtual reality.

Your creative development will include gaining valuable professional skills related to promoting and selling your work, curation, contracts, costing and networking. Opportunities will emerge through the course team’s close links with regional and national galleries like Tate Modern, Wysing Arts Centre, Firstsite, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and OUTPOST.

Core Units

Creative Learning (40 credits)

In your first unit, you will focus on developing your skills across all fine art disciplines, with practical work playing an important role in informing art theory and critical and historical perspectives. The unit helps you to acclimatise to Higher Education and to the University through projects and workshops, using different resources of the University campus. You will explore inspiration and ideas, identify your practice interests, and develop new working methods. You will be encouraged to be open to new and innovative ways of working through experimentation, practice and text-based research. Group tutorials will enable you to review work in progress, discuss ideas, form strategies for moving forward with your practice, and identify interests and concerns that will underpin your practice as an artist.

40 credits

Explore and Experiment (80 credits)

In this unit, you will explore and experiment with techniques, materials, media, idea generation, and critical evaluation. You will craft a statement of intent to determine the theme(s) and direction of your practice and contextual research. From this starting point, you will work independently in the studios and project spaces to explore, test and critique your work. Skills-based workshops will also encourage experimental approaches to making. Throughout the unit, you will work on projects to challenge your perception of fine art, expand the range of your knowledge, and, in some cases, spark your imagination when you feel the creative block. Cross-university events will allow you to work in disciplines other than Fine Art alongside peers from other courses.

80 credits

Core Projects

Wayfinding Week

The first week of each academic year is called Wayfinding week. It’s an opportunity get your bearings, establish new connections and, after your first year at Norwich, re-establish old ones. Your course team will talk you through the year ahead and explain the expectations for the year. We’ll help you navigate new encounters and identify areas to focus on as you progress through your course.

Make it Manifest(o)

An important element of Wayfinding Week is taking part in our annual ‘Make it Manifest(o)’ project. Your course team will introduce the project in which we’ll ask you to consider your hopes and vision of the year ahead at Norwich and work with students in other year groups to bring your ideas to life. The project culminates in a celebratory display of work across the campus. The project will help you to develop your critical creativity through different approaches, concepts, and mediums. You’ll encounter diverse perspectives and build friendships and networks within our university community.

Interchange Week

Interchange weeks are opportunities to step away from your disciplinary studies and engage in projects, workshops, visits and talks that extend your knowledge and understanding of the world. Whether you learn a new skill or take part in a global challenge project with students from other courses, you will come away with new insights to take back to your course. Interchange is part of the schedule for all Norwich students with sessions held across and beyond the campus led by university staff, visiting lecturers and students.

Global Contexts (80 credits)

In this unit, you will continue to develop your own voice and find ways of working based upon themes and contexts of your choice, while developing knowledge of the way that your work fits into different global contexts. You will also choose from a variety of specialist workshops to enhance your skills and identify the key themes you wish to explore throughout the unit. As the year progresses, you’ll delve deeper into your ideas, analysing the strengths and weaknesses of your work through tutorials, lectures, seminars, and workshops. You’ll also explore different exhibition formats through the development of an interim exhibition. Through a series of lectures, you will be introduced to theories, concepts and global contexts, which you will discuss with peers and staff during seminars. You’ll further your understanding of research by exploring the relationships between sources, methodologies, themes, and ideas in support of your evolving practice.

Directions (40 credits)

This unit focuses on helping you understand your practice in a broader context through collaboration and interdisciplinary working, including working with students and staff from other courses. You can choose to be a part of an externally-facing project or define your own project with external partners. Project briefs will encourage you to be a part of project management teams to learn more about the dynamics of team working. This collaborative learning experience will expose you to a range of new processes and approaches that will develop your creative thinking. Through our programme of lectures, discussions, cross-university events and gallery visits, you will continue to engage with current ideas, practices, and debates surrounding contemporary art that will help you see beyond your specialism.

Diploma Year (optional)

Level 5 Diploma (120 credits)

Students have the opportunity to spend a year after the second of their degree (or the third year if studying for a degree with an Integrated Foundation Year) enhancing their employability options through a Level 5 Diploma. They can choose from courses designed to provide:

opportunities to gain industry insight, developing employability skills through a series of supported experiences, expanding professional networks and building confidence in the workplace, or

an introduction to creative computing, building an understanding of how coding skills can be used to advance and complement creative practice.

Find out more about our Level 5 Diplomas.

Final Year

Research and Preparation (40 credits)

This is the first and shorter of the two units that make up your final year of undergraduate study. Your advancement in creative practice involving technology, materials, and processes will be developed through discussions with staff and peers in studio sessions and ‘Creative Uncertainty’ groups, where you will work on projects alongside staff. You will have opportunities to use project spaces and external venues for experimentation, collaboration, display, critique, curation, performance and discussion. Future and emerging practices in your discipline will be explored through visiting lectures, reinforced by tutorials and peer feedback. You will produce a research report that expands on the research ideas you developed in your second year. You’ll apply various research methods and methodological approaches, informed by your approach to your creative practice and future career aspirations.

Resolution and Career Development (80 credits)

Your final unit allows you to research, conceptualise and create a self-determined final-year project(s), building on the skills, knowledge and understanding you have gathered throughout the programme. Group discussions and tutorials will provide ongoing support for your studio practice, as you solve challenges to produce ambitious outcomes. Guidance on professionally presenting your work will be offered from its development to final dissemination. Throughout the unit, you will enhance your creative approaches by engaging in workshops fostering a critical mindset and proficiency with materials, technologies, and processes. Your final unit centres around a curated degree show and other shows or publications you may produce from which you will build a portfolio, allowing your work to be viewed by curators, collectors, buyers and gallery owners.

EVENTS - Dr Esther Sawyer (08/10/26)

Dr Esther Sawyer gave us a talk and shared her practice exploring the art of skateboarding and urban spaces researching into creative learning skateboarding. She expressed its importance to own the immersive and reciprocal learning that motivates people to push limits and build resilience. Finding the balance between exhilaration, concentration, and reward helps skaters navigate risk, failure and the sub conscious. Esther skates regularly in East London. The experience of learning to skate alongside her children has been a significant influence on her use of embodied research methodologies. (opens in a new window)
