The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is a prestigious undergraduate degree that equips students with a strong foundation in the visual arts. Graduates gain the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue diverse creative professions, such as practicing visual artists, illustrators, conceptual artists, art curators, art critics, and art educators. Offered by the School of Design, Art and Architecture Technologies (SDAAT), the BFA program is an intensive, studio-based experience designed for students aspiring to become practicing fine artists. The curriculum provides a comprehensive understanding of both discipline-specific and interdisciplinary practices and methodologies in the field.
Students develop core competencies and are exposed to contemporary practices within the fine arts. Encouraged to explore various media like painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, video art, and installation art, they simultaneously receive instruction in essential skills and current issues relevant to the field.
Streamlined by year, the program covers topics including spatial practices, representational and perceptual practices, and lens-based practices. This foundation is further solidified through intensive studio workshops in drawing, fabrication, and theory.
Beyond the studio, the BFA program also offers a supporting theory component. This component introduces students to contemporary approaches and research methods that directly connect to their artistic practice. By fostering a strong foundation, the program also prepares students for further studies, including Master’s degrees by research in art and design.
The School will provide career connections. To gain professional experience, it is mandatory for students to complete an internship within the industry.
Following are the employment opportunities that can be made available to Fine Artist from SDAAT.
