At Hull College’s Institute of Arts, you’ll join a vibrant community of makers and thinkers working across painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, film, ceramics, digital media and more. You’ll refine your artistic voice, build your confidence, and develop the creative and professional skills needed to thrive in today’s art world. You’ll be taught by practicing artists who are passionate about helping you reach your potential. Expect plenty of one-to-one guidance, supportive tutorials, and exciting opportunities to collaborate with others. From day one, you’ll be immersed in a studio environment that encourages experimentation, reflection, and independence — the perfect space to grow as an artist. Real-world experience is at the heart of this course. You’ll take on live projects, create work for exhibitions, and receive guidance from industry partners. You’ll also develop essential business and professional skills — learning how to fund, market, and exhibit your work, build your online presence, and manage creative projects from concept to completion. Your year will build towards the highlight of your studies: your final Degree Show — a public exhibition showcasing your work as a professional artist. Along the way, you’ll explore contemporary debates, engage with new technologies, and learn how to communicate your ideas clearly and confidently. We believe art should be inclusive, diverse and reflective of the world we live in. Our studio culture celebrates individuality and collaboration, encouraging you to bring your own experiences and perspectives into your creative work.
