Training Course Content
What you’ll learn
Working closely with your tutors and through a diagnostic approach to your studies, you will identify your creative strengths and produce a final project which will be part of the exhibition at the end of the course.
You will learn in our excellent facilities and studios, doing practical, assignment-based learning, supported by reflection and evaluation.
Course delivery details
This program encourages experimentation. We’ll equip you with a range of skills and techniques and the vocabulary required at higher-education level.

Critiques, tutorials and reflective practice help you to develop these skills. You’ll also have the opportunity in seminars and exhibitions to develop skills in presenting your own and other artists’ work.
