Additional Information
| Academic description |
This is the fifth course in the Research Methodologies and Reflective Practice series and it asks students to research the professional opportunities, such as funding, studios and galleries, which will be open to them when they graduate. The reflective practice aspect allows students to work together to find out more about how other artists and designers think and operate and to present their findings as a group activity. The studentship element encourages further investigation in to activities beyond the degree programme and asks students to reflect on the learning gained. |
