Fine Art BA Charlotte | Study With Us

Why did you choose Newcastle University?

I wanted to be at a university close to home, and the Fine Art course was rated as one of the best in the country.

I really liked the fact it was a 4-year course. It allowed an extra year for development and meant I wasn't having to write my dissertation and prepare for my degree show at the same time.
