Syllabus

Students engage with a series of lectures, seminars, tutorials and visiting speakers throughout the programme which contribute to the discussions around contemporary art practice. Field trips, as determined by the studio staff, to attend exhibitions, galleries, or fine art fairs will regularly form part of the syllabus. The students will work in small groups towards a final project in which they take responsibility for the presentation of their practice work to an audience using an appropriate format (e.g. exhibition, publication, public screening etc.)

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

Student progress is monitored continuously through regular group reviews and individual and group tutorials. Attendance registers for seminars, tutorials and workshop inductions are kept. Mid-year assessments are formative and, as much as possible, student-led; they are designed to encourage students to monitor their own progress as well as providing staff with information on which to draw when delivering the module programme.
