If you complete Part III of the BFA side of your BA/BFA conjoint with an average grade of B or higher, you are eligible to apply for entry into the BA/BFA(Hons).
The BA/BFA(Hons) builds upon the practical and theoretical elements developed across Part I, Part II and Part III of the BFA. You will explore an area of interest, expressed through your chosen media and honed through critical thinking, seminars and critiques of your research and your output.
Programme structure
The BA/BFA(Hons) aims to develop your artistic practice to its full potential, and to expand your understanding of contemporary art forms in their various cultural contexts. You will develop a project that culminates in a substantial work or exhibition, complemented by a piece of critical writing related to your investigation throughout the year.
The programme consists of an Honours research project worth 120 points, undertaken after completion of Parts I–III of the BA/BFA if you have achieved an average grade of B or higher.
Your BA courses are unaffected by the additional year in the BFA(Hons) side of the programme.
Where could this programme take you?
Your BA/BFA(Hons) study will help you to develop strong capabilities for many careers, including advanced communication, critical and creative thinking, the ability to research and evaluate information, the ability to analyse problems and seek solutions, adaptability, and an awareness of different perspectives. You’ll be well-positioned to pursue new opportunities opened up by developments in society, technology and the contemporary art industry.
