International students applying to study Art in the UK will need to think about which part of the subject they are interested in, and then research the right art school or university to apply to. Each art school has different equipment and specialisations to help you learn.
Studio-based work is central to all Art courses and can include painting, sculpture, installation, painting, photography, and digital media. Students specialize in their own areas of interest.
Universities often invite professional artists and critics to talk to students, whose studio work often culminates in a public display of final-year students' art.
Art graduates will move into careers in multimedia, publishing, advertising, museums, galleries, fashion, and the film industry, doing a wide range of roles, including photography, illustration, graphic design, interior design and website design.
Most courses do not specify what subjects you should have studied at school, but some insist on achievement in an art-related subject. Studying art and the history of art is recommended, and a personal portfolio of your collected work is a must.
Please note that entry requirements vary for each UK university.
