Statement: 
Newcastle University Fine Art department is a community of staff and students who are artists, curators and art historians. Collectively, our research and practice contribute to a vibrant creative culture and discourse both within the University and in the wider art ecology. Are you a contemporary artist working with an exciting practice, with the drive and enthusiasm for working in a busy Fine Art department and your expertise and practice with students at one of the UK’s best art schools? If so, we’d love to hear from you. Our Fine Art BA is a four-year studio-based programme that encourages creativity, autonomy, and experimentation. Studio staff teach and conduct world-leading research across the visual arts (Fine Art Research at Newcastle). We're committed to supporting the full range of traditional, contemporary and emerging studio-based practices in Fine Art; whether a student is working with painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, performance, film and video, digital media, or installation, we provide a unique level and quality of support. Students are encouraged to decide to develop their own productive relationship between studio practice and historical, curatorial and contextual studies. Professional practice modules, LifeWorkArt, are woven into the undergraduate programme, enabling students to engage directly with the creative eco-system of the region. The department is home to around 240 undergraduate, 25 postgraduate (MA/MFA) students and 25 PhD students. Fine Art is part of the School of Arts and Cultures
