As the course progresses, you’ll explore your own individual studio practice in your chosen areas of study. - Designed for individuals with more than one field of interest. - Study a combination of visual art disciplines. - Delivered through a dynamic range of practical and theoretical based modules. - Specialise in many subject areas in your second and third years, these can include: drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, graphic art, mixed textiles, and many more. **More about the Professional Placement Year** A Professional Placement Year (PPY), traditionally known as a sandwich year, is where a student undertakes a period of work with an external organisation for between 9-13 months. The placement occurs between the students' second and third years of undergraduate study. Students can engage in up to 3 placements to make up the total time and are required to source the placement(s) themselves with support from the Careers & Employability Team.

Year 1 will explore modules from two subject areas of your choice: 2D(painting and drawing), 3D(ceramics and sculpture); graphic arts and mixed media textiles. Optional modules may include photography and moving image; printmaking; ceramics: form and surface and drawing: practice and theory. Alongside these modules you’ll also attend contextual studies and professional practice lectures. In Year 2 you’ll continue with two areas of study, or choose to specialise in any of the subjects you studied in year 1. Contextual studies and professional practice lectures also continue, with opportunities to publicly exhibit your work. Your Final Year will continue with a similar programme to year 2, but you’ll undertake and complete a dissertation, whilst preparing for your future career. For more information please refer to our website.

You’ll be assessed entirely by coursework such as portfolios, exhibitions, written papers and live presentations. There are no written exams.
