By promoting the pursuit of innovation and creativity, we encourage opportunities for establishing and sharing best practice in research and foster the development of critical perspectives that have traditionally lain outside discrete disciplines. We encourage the use of reflective teaching and learning practices as part of an interactive relationship with research.

Researchers are also encouraged to apply for external funding for the full range of research from practice through history and theory.

In February 2017, students from BA (Hons) Fine Art visited Poland for a residential study trip.

Each year, the Fine Art course offers opportunities for students to attend a residential study trip at a low cost. Previous year’s students have been to Madrid, Venice, Antwerp, Milan, Berlin and Poland.

The students attend galleries, contemporary art fairs, monuments, and this year had the chance to do a bit of skiing.

In Poland, they visited the Auschwitz museum, an Artist’s studio, Schindler’s factory and Zakopane with a view of the mountains.

The study trip is not only geared towards art research-related visits but also is a chance for students to experience cultural exchanges.
