This course explores the overlap between art and theatre. Let one influence the other and develop your professional practice at one of the top ten Art departments in the UK. This joint Art degree enables you to develop a critical understanding of contemporary art and modern theatre. You will have the opportunity to complement your art practice with practical work in theatre. In Art, you will join a lively and creative community, explore a vast range of media and experiment with emerging art forms. You'll be assigned a dedicated studio space, accessible 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, and a studio tutor who will help you develop your individual and professional practice. Regular trips to museums and art galleries will prompt thoughts on how art is displayed and received. You will gain professional experience throughout your degree by taking part in your own exhibitions, public art commissions and events. Your teaching staff is all artists, curators and researchers of international standing and will encourage regular exhibitions and open debate. Placements and collaborations are actively encouraged and there is also the chance to experience life in another country. Opportunities for work-based learning and personal development complement your core learning. As well as the practical experience gained on this degree our students also graduate with a range of transferable skills, such as self-motivation, time management and strategic thinking. You will have greater self-confidence and become better able to express yourself. Many of our graduates develop successful careers as artists, writers and curators. These include a number of famous alumni, such as Turner-prize nominated artists, and PhD students who are award-winning artists and curators at influential museums. Others have found employment in galleries, education, art therapy and film and video production. Recent employers include Tate, White chapel Gallery, The Burlington Magazine, Christies, Microsoft, and the BBC.
