1-year Programme
Full-time
Start September or February
Do you want to improve your skills and qualifications for work or future studies, but do not yet have a portfolio or meet the entry requirements for a Bachelor‘s degree? This one-year programme is structured to help you find your niche and develop an artistic portfolio so you can make your next move with confidence. It's also perfect for students who want to explore multiple artistic areas before determining their future path.
The programme pushes experimentation and development of skills to give you the tools and skills to accomplish and express your creative vision. In the first semester a weekly Friday Show exhibition on campus or online, lets you showcase project work to the general public. Students also develop critical awareness of the contemporary visual world and the relationship of design and artistic practice to historical, cultural, environmental and social influences.
Students are expected to attend daily classes (20 hours per week), plus additional workshops & guest lectures. In semester 2, classes are 10 hours per week with the additional time directed into independent learning practice in the studio, as well as some workshops.

Nadiya’s installation centered on an amusement park machine that grabs and pulls out a plush toy of our choice. Such a symbol represents entertainment so the work becomes a satirical display of our distorted view of the world. In this way, Nadiya shed light on the paradox of human-animal relationships-some we pick as companions, others are food.
