The world is changing, and creative problem-solving is becoming an imperative. At the Bath School of Art, Film and Media we will teach you how to harness method and imagination with technical skill to become a resilient and motivated maker. You will become your own champion - translating your professional practice into industry through exhibitions, commissioned projects and performances. 

Through our innovative Creative Arts Practice programme, you can explore your talent across disciplines, from sculpture to painting to the graphic arts, and choose a path that's right for you. 

You'll be based at the purpose built Locksbrook Campus, our restored riverside Herman Miller factory that offers all the space you need for collaboration and inspiration. 

“My Fine Art degree at Bath Spa meant the difference between collecting ideas in notepads, and seeing them realised on gallery walls and beyond.”

“...stay determined, get your work out there, chat to everyone and make sure that people are aware of your name.”
