This three-year programme comprises three areas of practice: painting, fine art media, and sculpture, with an integrated critical studies component. All practice-based staff are practising artists and scholars with significant exhibition and public profiles. Our students also benefit from London's vast cultural resources.
Degree benefits
Each student is allocated their own studio space each year. This can be accessed in line with the current Covid guidelines. First-year students explore each area on rotation during the first year.
All undergraduates may apply for international exchanges. The Slade has exchange agreements with art schools in China, Europe, Israel and the USA, which are offered on a competitive basis. Please note that exchanges may be limited by Covid travel restrictions.
The Slade's location, close to many important galleries, museums, libraries and theatres, allows students to access a range of learning resources and research opportunities.
Your learning
The BFA is practice-based, with an emphasis on a self-initiated programme of work. This is supported by one-to-one and group tutorials, across-school events, critiques, contemporary art lectures and the critical studies programme. Technical inductions, workshops and one-to-one technical instruction are provided according to each student's academic needs.
Assessment
You will be assessed through tutorial reports, annual assessment of your practice-based work, and critical studies component. Your final assessment will be based on a final exam when you present your work.
Careers
The programme aims to: develop the individual visual intelligence you bring with you to the school; develop your critical awareness and understanding of fine art and its contexts; and provide the intellectual and practical resources to enable you to realise your creative potential as a professional artist.
Most Slade graduates become professional artists but you will leave UCL with a range of skills to branch out into a variety of careers in the creative professions and beyond. You will have built up practical, transferable and academic skills and these, alongside any experience you may have gained outside your degree, will widen your career options.
