At the Slade School of Fine Art we approach the practice of contemporary art and the history and theories that inform it in an experimental, research-oriented and imaginative way. An art school with a world leading reputation, the Slade makes a significant contribution to the field of contemporary art both nationally and internationally.
For undergraduates we offer a three-year BFA and four-year BA. At graduate level we have an MA and MFA, as well as MPhil/PhD. We welcome international students and also offer our undergraduates the opportunity to study abroad.
We are a world leading university department for research in Fine Art. All studio staff are practising artists and actively involved in research as well as teaching.
Our staff and students are lively and engaged with a wide range of initiatives nationally and internationally, and you may have heard of a number of our alumni.
Booking is now open for our Summer School and unique Summer Foundation. Our Short Courses run from October to March and we also run courses at Easter.
The Slade's foundation in 1871 was the result of a bequest from Felix Slade who envisaged a school where fine art would be studied within a liberal arts university.
