BA (Hons) Fine Art (Extension Degree) at Goldsmiths, University of London

The Extension Degree has been designed specifically for students from countries outside the United Kingdom. Our aim is to enable you to work independently as an artist, and to generate and develop your own ideas. Within a university, the term fine art describes an area of study in which students make and learn about contemporary art (this means art being made and exhibited today).

Faculty: School of Art  |  Department: Art  |  Duration: 1 year full-time, followed by 3 years full-time (undergraduate degree)  |  Study mode: full-time  |  Location: London, England, United Kingdom

What you will study

Throughout the programme we'll encourage you to work independently as an artist, to generate and develop your own ideas. If you complete all Extension Degree modules successfully you'll be able to progress directly to year 1 of the BA Fine Art or the BA Fine Art and History of Art degree. As a student on the Fine Art Extension Degree, you will be taught by practising artists, writers and curators and the student-centred learning means that it is your own practice and research that is the centre of the learning process.

Career pathways

Many graduates have continued to be successful, practising artists long after graduating, winning major prizes and exhibiting around the world. The Turner Prize shortlist has consistently included at least one of our former undergraduates.
