Fine Art is the making and study of visual art. It educates and prepares students to become artists and to follow other practices that are aligned with the making of art. The curriculum is centred on the individual student’s potential and imagination. The Ruskin School of Art offers a three-year studio-based BFA course in which students work alongside each other in collaboratively-organised studios. Whereas many fine art courses run in an environment devoted exclusively to art and design, Ruskin students, as members of a collegiate university, have the advantage of contact with their contemporaries on all of Oxford’s other courses. For more information on this course please visit ox.ac.uk/ugfineart.

Excluding General Studies (if taken). Entry requirement is AAA except for post A-level candidates on an Art Foundation Course, for whom the requirement is AAB. Further, post A-level candidates on an Art Foundation Course are expected to submit an outstanding portfolio, and to achieve a least a Merit or equivalent on their Foundation Course.
Supplemented by two or more Advanced Highers.
Conditional offers will usually be for AAB if a student is able to take three Advanced Highers; where this is not possible then a student would be expected to achieve AA in two Advanced Highers, as well as an A grade in an additional Higher course taken in Year 6.
Some Access courses allow students to take one or two A-levels as part of the course. This option is strongly recommended for students who wish to apply to Oxford, especially for those courses which have specific subject requirements. If you would like to discuss the suitability of your Access course for entry to Oxford University, please contact the subject department that you’d like to apply to for further information. (Contact details are at ox.ac.uk/courses)
Pre-U subject requirements are the same as those for A-levels.
