Fine Art at Edinburgh College of Art

Hello!
I recently received an offer to study MA Fine Art at Edinburgh College of Art (I might switch to the BA course later on). I was just wondering if anyone has any insights into either of these courses regarding what the tutors are like, contact time, how much support you receive and the overall quality of the course and student life. I am most interested in painting and also want to know how early you are able to specialise.
Thanks
Nell

I live in the UK and it came through mid last week. I'm sure they're still processing loads of applications though

Hi :smile: I’m not 100% sure but from things online it seems like you can if they have space on the BA. I’m going to have to ask someone from the uni tho I think👍

I also received an offer for the MA, but I originally wanted to study for a BA. The MA takes five years, so I’m really conflicted right now, especially since the degree is considered equivalent to a BA. Also, my English isn’t very strong, so I’m worried that I’ll struggle a lot when studying art history.
