Intro

One of the only specialist degrees of its kind, this course trains you in the traditions of printmaking and in contemporary image making processes, such as drawing, collage, photography, artists’ books, letterpress and digital image making.

We encourage creative exploration in a variety of visual forms, underpinned by intellectual inquiry, which leads to exciting, innovative practice.

You’ll be working in one of the UK’s best-equipped printmaking workshops, with facilities for etching, screen print, lithography, relief and large format digital print, letter press and bookbinding as well traditional wet based photography. 

Our links with local arts communities provide opportunities for creative engagement in schools, galleries and studios. Visits to exhibitions and guest lectures from artists and those working in the creative industries will improve your understanding of professional practice.

You’ll have opportunities to exhibit your work and we have international links with the University of Nagoya, Japan, which runs an exchange programme available by competitive application. 

We offer two other undergraduate courses within our fine art subject area.

Course content

Year 1

You will explore a variety of ways of working including investigating drawing in an expanded way, colour theory and ideas development. You’ll have theoretical lectures and seminars as well as technical inductions into all the main processes of printmaking (etching, lithography, screen, relief, Photoshop and Illustrator). You will be supported to develop research into interests and concerns that motivate you individually. You will also collaboratively plan a group exhibition and take part in a print edition project.

Modules

  • Studio Practice 1: Orientation

    This module orientates you to the main elements of studio practice. Research informed teaching introduces you to various methods of contextual and critical exploration that will underpin the development of your practice, informing the development of professional skills. Seminars and tutorials will give you the opportunity to discuss your interests with each other, helping to generate and develop creative ideas.

  • Studio Practice 2: Enquiry, Edition, Exhibition

    This module provides you with the opportunity to match your imaginative and intellectual concerns against the constraints and potentials of editioned printmaking, a skill set that contributes to professional employability. This experience will lead to the planning and presentation of a year group exhibition. By demonstrating an increasingly fluent, critically informed understanding of your visual research, you will develop a convincingly progressive printmaking practice.

  • Printmaking Technical Inductions

    This module provides technical demonstration and direct workshop engagement with the main processes of etching, lithography, screenprint, relief and digital printmaking processes. You will also compare and contrast the potential of the processes to which you are introduced.

  • Introduction to Theories and Practices of Fine Art

    This module introduces a range of approaches used to think about the relationship between fine art practice and the social and cultural contexts in which art has emerged at various periods. Attention is paid to how artworks and art practices embody changing ideas, meanings, values and effects.

    Students from all fine art areas take part, enabling interdisciplinary dialogue. The module explores historical contextualisation appropriate for studio practice, supporting the development of library-based research and academic skills.

Making sure that what you learn with us is relevant, up to date and what employers are looking for is our priority, so courses are reviewed and enhanced on an ongoing basis. When you have applied to us, you’ll be told about any new developments through Student View.

2018 graduate Rachel Sankey talks about her experiences of studying printmaking at Brighton.

Year 2

The second year is when you really begin to develop your work and your autonomy of practice, testing your ideas and research methodologies, and clarifying what aspects of printmaking you want to refine. The fine art exhibition, held in and around the university gallery, gives you the opportunity to exhibit your work with your peers from other disciplines. A public engagement module provides connectivity between studio and workshop activity, usually a school or an artists led project,  and a professional working environment.

Modules

  • Artist Journal: Materiality of Practice, New Perspectives and Online Audiences
  • Studio Practice 3: Investigation, Experimentation, Public Exhibition and Engagement
  • Theories and Practices of Fine Art: Contexts and Specialisms

Options*

*Option modules are indicative and may change, depending on timetabling and staff availability.

Final year

In your third year the exploration of creative possibilities intensifies as you consolidate your interests in order to plan a resolved body of work for the graduate show. This is an exciting time when the insights and experience gained throughout the course come together to present undergraduate practice at its most inventive, thought-provoking and professional. There is also a focus on the development of your practice after undergraduate study and course has a proven track record of progression to respected masters level courses.

  • Studio Practice 4: Speculation and Integration

How this course is delivered

How will my course be taught?
For the academic year that starts in September 2022 we’re planning for all students to be taught face-to-face on campus, enhanced by some online learning.

Students who started their course with us in 2021 are on campus for some face-to-face learning including tutorials, workshops, laboratory classes and studio sessions. They are also taking part in off-campus learning activities such as placements, field trips and study visits. And all of our campus facilities – libraries, learning spaces, restaurants, gyms and more are open.

Like all universities we are following government guidance and we are monitoring the pandemic very closely. Should Public Health advise it we have robust plans in place for additional safety measures to be introduced to enable everyone to continue learning on campus, and, as a last resort, for students to continue their learning remotely.

We will update you regularly on our teaching plans for the next academic year as you progress your application with us.

When does my course start?
The 2022 academic year begins on Monday 26 September 2022. Teaching for most courses starts the following week.

Many education courses, some health science courses including Medicine, and some postgraduate business courses have an earlier start date. Check your offer letter for the start date of your course.

Employment demand for arts graduates

The British Academy has compiled a report (May 2020) quantifying the demand for arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) skills in the workplace. It helps to answer the legitimate question of what the economic return is on undertaking a degree, both in time and money. 

According to the report:

  • As arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates progress through the first ten years of their career they are able make strong progress up the career ladder into roles attracting higher salaries
  • Arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates are employed in some of the fastest growing sectors including financial services, education, social work, the media and creative industries
  • Of the ten fastest growing sectors, eight employ more graduates from AHSS than other disciplines

This makes AHSS graduates at the heart of some of the most exciting, productive, largest and fastest-growing sectors of the UK economy.

Future skills demand

According to the report:

  • With the challenges the world is facing – climate change, global pandemics, the growth of populism – the UK needs the insights of the arts, humanities and social sciences (AHSS) as much as those from science, technology and engineering (STEM)
  • Evidence within the report shows that Arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates are central to these challenges and changes – they will be vital in giving us the tools to examine and explain human behaviour, understand how society functions, learn from the past and apply those lessons to the present, and analyse the drivers and implications of a changing world and how different countries, places and cultures interact.
