Your studio practice will make up the bulk of your programme, and you’ll have access to excellent facilities and technical advice from tutors and visiting artists. Studios are not divided by year or discipline, so you’ll be studying alongside students from all stages of the degree, working in a variety of media. You may also get the chance to see your work displayed here in the annual degree shows, where the Baths are transformed into an exhibition area.
