Discover our Diploma Programmes
We offer two Diploma programmes at the Art Academy, one in Contemporary Fine Art and one in Contemporary Portraiture.
Both Diplomas are two year programmes with an optional third year. You can study them full time or you can opt for the ‘modular’ version, allowing you to study one module at a time, building these until you complete your Diploma and studying at your own pace.
