Belle Arti BA (Hons)

This course will help you to find your own identity as an artist through the development of core skills and practical techniques.

The course is focused on making and critical thinking, and you can concentrate on a single discipline or work across a number of disciplines and media. Your practical work will support a growing critical and contextual understanding of the theory of art and culture.

Taught by practicing artists of international standing, our academic staff exhibit and publish nationally and internationally. In 2015 Fine Art lecturer Graham Fagen represented Scotland at the Venice Bienniale (one of the most prestigious cultural exhibitions in the world).

Using our large studios, you can explore drawing, painting, time-based art, digital media, sculpture, print, photography, video, sound, performance, installation, and artists' books.

School of Science and Engineering - Through our teaching and research, we bring together subjects in Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to address global societal challenges and develop life-changing technologies.

We do this as a community of students, staff, alumni, and friends. We know we might not change the world alone, but by working together and combining our potential we can solve big problems. We recognize the strength in disciplines – science, medicine, art & design, humanities, engineering, social sciences – but also in the greater strength of combined excellence. We do it based on our core beliefs of fairness, equality, and the advancement and application of knowledge that were established when we were founded over 100 years ago. Mary Ann Baxter, whose donation helped establish what was then University College Dundee, said we should be an institution "promoting the education of persons of both sexes, and the study of science, literature, and the fine arts”.
