Additional Information

It is a course that has in the past appealed both to the young and mature learner returning to education in the field of Fine Art. Younger learners have typically joined the programme wanting to continue their studies in Fine Art and the part time mode of study suits their current situation. Equally, mature learners find the part time option is beneficial to their work/ life needs. This part time course offers the chance to develop a personal visual language through experimentation with processes, materials and ideas. The course provides a specialist programme of study that covers the key knowledge, understanding and practical skills required in the fine art sector. This course aims to develop an awareness of contemporary fine art practice, exposing you to the areas of Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Printmaking, Digital imaging and History and Contextual Studies. You will be able to develop a portfolio of work which can contribute towards a specialist Fine Art HND (or degree) programme or assist with entry to employment specialising in Fine Art. You will be required to present a portfolio of work demonstrating your suitability and aptitude for this course at interview.

    One of my first aims within NWRC is to identify and reward innovative ideas and entrepreneurial thinking throughout the college network. The IDEATOR Awards will serve as a stepping stone for both students, recent NWRC alumni and the staff network to develop business ideas further.

    At 16, I knew I wanted to be part of the creative industry, but I wasn't certain which avenue to pursue. The tradition route of A-Levels just wasn’t for me. My years at NWRC were amazing, significantly shaping my creative journey. The facilities and lecturers are the best. I felt incredibly prepared to study Fashion Design at Ulster University.
