Alex Nicholas

Master of Fine Art (MFA)

"One of the great things about this course is that it's twinned with the big BALTIC which is the big gallery in Gateshead. Having an academic course that's established with a big gallery that has contemporary exhibitions and a really great team of creators and people that work there who are artists themselves as well, it's really beneficial.

"To get an insight from someone who's really keyed in to the art world as it is now and to get their feedback is amazing."
