This one-year portfolio course places a strong emphasis on design, such as costume design, product design, model making, props, design for stage and screen, design for street theatre, craft design and fashion and set design.
You will be taught the necessary skills to research all ideas visually, through drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and design.
Assignment work is purposely broad enough to allow you to build up a portfolio suitable for your area of particular interest, whether it is fine art or design.
