| Summary | This course will refine your understanding and application of the content, language, methods and production of a critically reflective body of work that draws upon the historical and contemporary references in current practice.

| Course description |
Through self-initiated study and externally focused projects you will engage in a range of professional contexts. You will be encouraged to independently produce work and discuss it through individual tutorials, group and cross-school critiques and seminars in a specialist studio environment.
Your plan of study will begin to define individual concerns and establish working patterns to facilitate progress. The course will encourage you to grow and extend your practice out with the confines of the college environment and reach a broader, more diverse audience. You will begin to work in an independent manner and participate in project space presentations and external exhibitions. Regular tutorial support, invited artists, gallery visits, lectures and workshops will contribute to learning.
