You will undertake a broad experimental approach to visual work and cover several specialist areas including fine art, textiles/fashion, 3D studies and graphics. You will also study complementary subjects including history of art and design, critical awareness, and creative computing.
You will work towards a final major project and produce written essays to complement your practical artwork. Unlike other specialised courses, this course is structured so that you can discover the areas of advanced study most appropriate to your needs, aspirations and abilities.
