Core skills taught include design strategies, drawing, printmaking, painting, photography, and sculpture. In addition, you'll choose three courses from a range of electives which will enable you to develop complementary skills in particular areas of interest.

As well as studio courses, you'll complete a group of core courses in academic subjects. These include both professional and contextual studies, which will equip you with developed communication skills, a background in the history and sociology of creative practices, insights into contemporary professional ethics and some business skills.
