We aim to give students an understanding of cutting-edge practice, develop their creative potential, introduce them to research methodologies and give them the entrepreneurial skills they need to work successfully in their chosen field.

We encourage conceptual experimentation and the development of originality in how students use materials, explore possibilities and realise the potential of their ideas.
