What You’ll Learn
Modules^
Preparation for Extended Study in Fine Art
This module is designed to give you the opportunity to define a short programme of study on a self-initiated basis in preparation for the major “Extended Study in Fine Art” module. You will learn through experience how to identify and articulate personal aims and how to plan and manage a period of self-directed work. It also requires you to focus on the relationship of your art/design/media interests to individual career aspirations.
Independent Research Project
Students design and produce a research project that develops a specialised interest in contemporary critical debates and contexts for contemporary creative production. There will be workshops and lectures to support you in developing your ideas, designing and implementing research projects, and provide guidance on independent study. Supervision tutorials will support your on-going research, critical reading and writing.

Extended Study in Fine Art
During the module, you will compile a Research File that contains contextual and cultural reference material that is informing your work, and which may include a written commentary explaining the relevance of this to your own practice. A professionally produced individual publication presented with the final body of work demonstrates an understanding of individual creative practice in relation to contemporary critical, cultural and professional contexts. This publication also requires you to critically reflect on research sources, application of methodology and the success of the outcome in relation to your original intentions.
Professional Practice: Graduate Strategies
This module enables you to consolidate your knowledge and understanding of your area of practice in relation to the professional context, and develop strategies for graduation and progression to employment or further studies. The module is designed to contribute to the refinement of your contextual understanding of your discipline, and enable you to focus this towards identified personal career aspirations and the opportunities offered, directly and indirectly, by the industry.
