Fine Art Painting BA (Hons)

Our Painting degree is one of the few courses in the UK that offers specialist study in the subject.Painting has been taught at Brighton for over 150 years and this course builds on this history by questioning and redefining the role of painting in society.At Brighton, there is no house style – we encourage you to test boundaries in an environment of discussion and debate. Painting teaches you that meaning will come from making your work, rather than any preconceptions about what art is. It maintains contemporary relevance because it speaks from the heart of its creators.To develop, you must be unafraid of taking risks and willing to learn through both failure and success. The practice and research interests of our teaching staff differ widely, but we all share the desire to be surprised, and to delight in difference and possibilities of the new. This breadth of knowledge creates and informs the course.
