Fine art and business degree??

Are there any degrees in the UK which combine fine art and business?
Depends on exactly what you mean by "art and business". If you mean, the business of the arts sector, then something in curating might be a relevant first step, although that won't necessarily require any creative work from yourself. Alternately just any degree (business based probably) then moving into that sector. There might be some specific ones like fashion marketing/merchandising as well for particular sectors.

Alternately if you mean, using creative arts skills in a professional setting, then that is basically every design based degree; graphic design, games development, illustration, animation, fashion design, product design, architecture, etc. So there are lots of options in that realm depending on exactly what it is you're interested in.


If you want some ideas about specific courses in the UK that may include art and business or similar, I suggest checking out the official UCAS website and Unifrog (which you can use as a tracker for different universities, courses and shortlist them). The WhatUni app has the majority of UK universities on there too and specific courses they do, as well as any events they are hosting. I suggest checking these out for details. Hope this helps:smile:

Its not an obvious joint subject - the two subjects are not directly connected.

Look at 'applied' degrees like :
Arts & Cultural Management https://www.uca.ac.uk/study/courses/ba-bsc-arts-cultural-management/
History of Art with Gallery/Museum Studies - https://www.uea.ac.uk/course/undergraduate/ba-history-of-art-with-gallery-and-museum-studies
Creative and Cultural Industries - https://www.kingston.ac.uk/courses/find-a-course/undergraduate/subject-areas/593-art-and-design/
