Assessment method
The course is structured to develop resilient, independent graduates with skills to work with confidence and professionalism in the creative industries. Studio and workshops are central to the daily experience - a place to make, think, experiment and interact with staff and peers. At each stage of study, appropriate levels of tutorial support (academic and pastoral) will be given, these include group and one-to-one contact. As students’ progress through the course, they undertake several self-organized exhibitions that explore contexts for reaching an audience. Each semester culminates in the submission of a portfolio of artwork and supporting material that is assessed using defined criteria.
