Art - BA (Hons)

University Centre Leeds, Leeds City College

Bring your artistic vision to life with our BA (Hons) Degree – where your future unfolds in full colour. Based in the heart of Leeds, the BA (Hons) Art degree places you in a dynamic studio environment that reflects industry practice and supports the development of your own creative voice. You’ll be part of a collaborative artistic community where you can refine your style, test ideas, and push your creativity further. Throughout the course, you’ll develop new techniques, strengthen your studio practice, and build an understanding of how art and commerce intersect to create sustainable career pathways. Teaching and assessment are practice-led, preparing you with the skills and experience needed to succeed in a constantly evolving industry. You’ll have opportunities to exhibit and sell your work, collaborate with artists, engage with the public, visit exhibitions, and explore the changing art landscape. The course also emphasises the role of art within communities, encouraging you to explore how creative practice can connect people and ideas. You’ll benefit from strong industry links, showcasing your work in exhibitions and venues across Leeds, including access to studio space at our Mabgate Campus in the city’s Cultural Quarter. Working on both self-directed projects and collaborations with external partners, you’ll gain real-world experience and develop the confidence to progress into professional practice.
