Assessment Methods
The primary way of delivering this programme is on campus with our workshops and studio spaces providing essential creative environments for face-to-face interaction with teaching staff and likeminded students; this studio practice is supported by tutorials and peer group activities to provide ongoing feedback. Contextual studies blend presentations with research activities and external visits, and we use a Virtual Learning Environment to provide online programme materials.
As a studio-based learning programme, assessment is by course work, including practical portfolios of artworks with visual notebooks showing the development of ideas. Other assessment methods include written, verbal and exhibition presentations.
Delivery is over an equivalent of 2.5 days per week. Students will receive 13 hours of teaching per week throughout this course. Additional one-to-one meetings with tutors will provide further support.
