Course Summary

The programme offers Art and Design professionals who are employed in the sector an opportunity to upskill through a combination of taught modules and independent research work related to their area of work.

It also provides training to graduates of related disciplines who wish to prepare for employment in Art and Design education.

What you will learn

In line with the demands of the target markets for well-rounded, self-reflective and globally aware educational practitioners, the taught part of the programme (Part 1) places equal weight on the main areas of Art and Design education.

The overall aim of the taught part is to bring students up to speed with current discussions in the relevant academic sub-fields, preparing them for their independent research work in Part 2.

The research portfolio affords students an opportunity to specialise in one area and to explore a research topic linked to their employment or thought to have a practical impact in a particular area.
