Emily uses the art studios not only to make art but also to inspire herself and her fellow students. Her joint honours degree combines two of her passions, as she aspires to become an art therapist and use art to foster dialogue and aid wellbeing.

Soraya Muller
Visiting student
International student Soraya Muller spent five months at the ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø, from University DHBW Ravensburg in Germany, where she was studying media and graphic design.
A student studying abroad
Frances Grazier credits her time at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø with helping to broaden her practical art skills.
Throughout her degree, she travelled to Taiwan and Wuhan, China, as part of a study exchange programme; subsequently she was awarded a scholarship to continue her studies in Taiwan after graduation.
"When I first started my course I only drew in pencil, but from the start we were pushed and encouraged to try different media. In the end I decided to explore video and my piece "Internal Landscape" uses 3D digital sculpture and a virtual reality headset.
"The study exchange programme allowed me not only to explore different countries, but also to get an understanding of how art is taught in different parts of the world."

Studying a joint honours degree
Many graduates opt to study art as part of a joint honours programme; they credit our diverse study programmes as key influencers over their art practice.
BA Art and Philosophy graduate Oleksandra Radchenko's piece '3-XI-6869421' is a coming together of her time in ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø School of Art and the department of Philosophy.
"Being able to collaborate with other departments became a really important part of my degree.
As a joint honours student studying Philosophy alongside Art, it helped me incorporate my philosophical outlooks and viewpoints within my art practice."
