BA(Hons) Drawing

Falmouth’s dedicated drawing degree is one of only a few in the UK. Working within a vibrant and collaborative studio culture, you’ll create ambitious work by developing informed opinions and techniques that combine theory with practice. Build your skills, expertise and career opportunities by exploring wide-ranging areas of drawing practice and critical studies.

You will:

• Work in our purpose-built, dedicated suite of studios with like-minded peers

• Study a variety of processes and approaches to the discipline, including life drawing, printmaking, etching, digital methods and the moving image

• Develop a portfolio that emphasises the dynamic possibilities and relevance of contemporary drawing practice

• Work alongside internationally recognised visiting artists

• Benefit from placement opportunities in your second year, making industry connections while exploring the real-world applications of drawing across sectors

• Have the chance to exhibit your work throughout your degree – previous spaces have included Wheal Martyn Clay Works, Gallery Tresco, the Robert Burt Gallery and ShelterBox Truro

We consider all applications on their merit and potential. We invite all applicants to an interview day or audition to allow them to demonstrate this, along with what inspires and motivates them in their field. Applicants can also show their portfolio or give a performance, depending on the course. We welcome applications from all subject backgrounds, whether you’ve specialised in STEM, the arts or the humanities.
