Do you have any specific concerns about studying in the UK that I might be able to help with? What sort of information are you looking for?

Do you think you want to study in a big city or somewhere quieter? What kind of artistic practices are you interested in developing, are there any specific courses you're looking at?

Hi @Christianjoshua

University of Southampton Fine Arts student here!😃 It is so great to hear that you want to study art in the UK!

I have found the experience of studying art such a great confidence boost, a brilliant way to develop my arts practise, gain industry level skills and also loads of fun!

I would like to ask you a couple of questions, so I can help you further 🙂

What sort of art do you make? 🎨

What sort of arts are you interested in? - the UK offers many art based courses, such as Fine Art, Graphic Design, Games Design, Fashion, Textiles, Architecture, Illustration etc.

Here at the University of Southampton, we have a specialist arts campus based in Winchester - Winchester School of Art. I have had an amazing experience here where I have really felt like a part of a creative community. I think it is a campus where collaboration between peers is developed very well and insights into industry is fostered throughout your studies. If you have any further questions about University of Southampton or Fine Art here, let me know!

If you would like to take a look at the international entry requirements to the University of Southampton, you can access information through this link here - https://www.southampton.ac.uk/international/entry-qualification-equivalencies

In addition, here is some more information about international students at UoS here - https://www.southampton.ac.uk/international

I hope this helps provide some insight, but if you have any further questions, feel free to ask away! 😄
