University of Oxford’s Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art provides 3 years fulltime undergraduate degree program Bachelors of Fine Art which is a studio-based course in which students work alongside each other in collaboratively organised studios
It allows students to engage with the diversity of disciplines that shape contemporary art, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation, video, sound, performance and other experimental forms
75% of the course is dedicated to studio practice and 25% to the history & theory of visual culture. The two components of the course are closely integrated, and the historical and theoretical study of art is taught both in the lecture rooms and in the studios
Students are initially encouraged to work across all media and then to develop their own focus and interests during the final two years of the course
Students begin from the outset to develop their studio work in discussion with the School’s lecturers, tutors and visiting staff, and each student is allocated a primary tutor with whom they meet regularly throughout the term
Class 12th
