The University of Chester is one of the oldest providers of higher education in the country, with our academic roots stretching back to the early 19th century. In choosing Chester, you will be selecting an institution with a strong learning tradition, and one which will challenge you to give the best of yourself in your academic work, sport and recreation, and your contribution to our student community. In return, we will give you one of the best experiences of your life.
The programme aims to:
- promote studio practice through which students can deepen artistic knowledge, extend
expertise and develop artistic potential as independent learners
- by relating theory to practice, allow students to understand critical ideas and subject their
work to robust scrutiny thus negotiating contexts that will lead to new artistic insights
- by developing an attitude of scepticism and enquiry, enable students to give their work a
sharpened focus and purpose
- promote a level of self-confidence that will enable students to extend the ambition of their
work and to practice and exhibit as artists in a professional context or to continue as
practice-based researchers.
