We admit three students each year, taught by Dr Ian Kiaer, an artist who exhibits internationally, alongside visiting artists and specialists who contribute to the course.
Applicants will be required to submit a digital portfolio as part of the admissions process. Entry is normally three grade As at A-level (or equivalent) for candidates applying straight from school or sixth-form. Candidates undertaking or who have completed a post-18 one-year Art Foundation Diploma will be considered with AAB at A-level (or equivalent).
Further details of the course structure and admissions procedure can be found on the Ruskin School and central University websites.
Careers
After graduation, most students go on to work in the arts sector as practising artists, teachers, curators, fabricators and technicians, in public and private museums and galleries, community arts organisations and for culture and heritage councils and institutions.
Recent alumni have taken up educational and curatorial roles in major art institutions such as Tate, the Baltic Gateshead, the Hepworth Wakefield and Modern Art Oxford.
Many also pursue careers in architecture, music and theatre, communications, and the film and digital media industries. Others continue in academia and art writing, and numerous Ruskin alumni contribute regularly to leading publications.
