CCW PROSPECTUS
WELCOME TO CCW
WELCOME TO CCW
Welcome to the prospectus for Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges of Arts and Design (CCW), which shows all of our Foundation, Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Research level programmes. Throughout these pages I hope you will find much to inspire you, from the names of the world class alumni who have gone before you, to the thoughts of the outstanding course leaders who are waiting to teach you. Of course, a brochure can only give a brief flavour of our groundbreaking ethos of our courses, the distinctive nature of our Colleges and the many state-of-the-art facilities we offer. It is particularly hard to come close to giving a detailed impression of the unique experience of living and studying in
London, one of the world’s greatest cities and certainly one of the most exciting and enabling places on the planet to study art and design. If you would like to know more, there are further details on our website, and why not visit us on an open day? We can show you around, introduce you to our staff and students and talk to you in greater detail about all we have to offer. I hope that you enjoy this prospectus, and that opening it is just the first step on your life-changing journey with CCW.

STUDENT LIFE AT CCW
STUDENT LIFE AND STUDENT SUPPORT AT CCW
Studying in London London is one of the most exciting cities in the world, and one which provides students with an enormous range of experiences and resources. Internationally renowned libraries, museums, galleries and collections hold invaluable research material, while the extraordinary range of exhibitions and events provide a rich context for the study of contemporary art and design. Joining Camberwell, Chelsea or Wimbledon (CCW) Colleges of Art and Design places you in the heart of this great cosmopolitan centre with each College providing a unique learning environment. Camberwell is based in a dynamic urban area in South London known for its community of artists; Chelsea is centrally located, next door to Tate Britain and alongside the River Thames, and Wimbledon, easily accessible to central London, is surrounded by expansive green spaces and close to London’s television and film studios. London’s creative sector is the city’s second largest industry. It is home to world leading theatres, museums and galleries as well as numerous businesses specialising in architecture, design, communication, media and film, offering a wealth of opportunities for art and design students. The city also hosts many cultural and international events including the London Design Festival, London Fashion Week and the London Film Festival.
International Exchange Programme
Supporting Our Students There are a range of services at University of the Arts London offering you support. You may use them to help you develop your potential or organise essential aspects of living and studying. When you’re offered a place on a course you will be sent an intro booklet to help you plan ahead for your life as a student. The University provides a large number of these services in one place, located in Student Services at 272 High Holborn: T: +44 (0)20 7514 6230 www.arts.ac.uk/student Disability You can access confidential advice and support from the University Disability Team or from your College disability representative if you have (or think you may have) a disability. By ‘disability’ we mean any condition, impairment or specific learning difficulty that is likely to have an impact on your studies (for example dyslexia, Asperger’s syndrome, mobility or sensory impairments, long-term medical conditions or mental health difficulties). Please make contact as early as possible so we can assess your needs and prepare support for your studies. This is particularly important if you are likely to need additional support at open days or interviews. T: +44 (0)20 7514 6156 E: disability@arts.ac.uk Counselling and Health Advice Confidential counselling is available for any personal or emotional difficulties, physical and mental health advice. We work in partnership with several GP’s, who offer free national healthcare. T: +44 (0)20 7514 6251/2988 E: counselling@arts.ac.uk E: studenthealth@arts.ac.uk

student support
At the Students’ Union (SU), we represent the interests of every student at each of the six Colleges across University of the Arts London. We provide a range of activities – we’re run by students for students.
Advice Service Trained advice workers are on hand to provide confidential advice and support regarding any problems you may encounter while studying. Activities, Social Spaces and Entertainment The SU has more than 70 student-run groups offering a wide range of activities including sports, religious groups, volunteering projects and cultural activities. And if you can’t find the group to match your interest, we can help you set up your own and maybe even provide funding. There are seven SU-run social spaces, including bars and cafes, across the University. They’re great places to meet and are priced very competitively. There are regular promotions and events – you can even book one out for your own party! We organise a number of events throughout the year, including parties, the Freshers’ Festival, the Christmas Ball and graduation celebrations, many of which are held at top London venues such as KOKO, Fabric and the Ministry of Sound. Promote Your Work The SU produces an award-winning art magazine, ‘Less Common More Sense’, which students are invited to get involved with. We also organise our annual group show, Exhibit, at UAL’s Gallery
go to
Campaigning At the SU, we’re quick to act in support of our students and go to great lengths in defending their interests. SUARTS won an NUS award for its impact on the recent demonstrations highlighting concerns over tuition fees and continues to influence the student movement nationwide. Student Hub and Activities Centre The Student Hub provides a wide range of studentfocused services, complementing those already available at the Colleges. It’s a space where learning, personal and careers support is provided alongside a range of Students’ Union activities including a café and a gallery. The Activities Centre is a bookable space, used by many sports and societies such as Breakdancing, Ballet, Yoga and House Dancing. This space is also fully bookable (for free) by students and has been used in the past for photo shoots, individual training sessions and other course related activities.

This dedicated space focuses on helping the three Colleges’ students progress through University of the Arts London and beyond. At the centre we offer a number of courses that enable progression within Camberwell College of Arts, Chelsea College of Art and Design and Wimbledon College of Art. The largest course run at the Progression Centre is the CCW Foundation

The CCW Foundation Diploma in Art and Design offers you the opportunity to explore and develop your artistic and creative ideas and skills through a mutually supportive environment. In March 2012 CCW’s Foundation provision was given the seal of approval by inspection agency OFSTED, with an overall rating of ‘outstanding’ for the effectiveness of our provision. Our Foundation course supports you in making decisions and choices about which area of art and design you want to specialise in and how and where you will progress onto in Higher Education and your future career. The foundation course bridges the gap between school or equivalent level education and the first year of an art or design BA. Students who don’t know which area they want to specialise in and students who have already made decisions about specialising both benefit from this experimental year which gives you the opportunity to build up a strong portfolio for application to your chosen BA course within CCW, UAL and beyond. Foundation runs from September to early May and has approximately 650 full-time students on the course. It’s a very diverse student body with students coming to study with us from over 20
go to
Progressing After the CCW Foundation Diploma in Art and Design Early in November we have a dedicated week to support you in applying to Undergraduate Courses at CCW and across the University of the Arts London. An average (across CCW) of 96% of Foundaion students progress onto their first choice course at Undergraduate level.

AMANDA JENKINS, FURTHER EDUCATION PROGR AMME DIRECTOR
Stage One The first part introduces those aspects of art and design practice that together form a sound working methodology, enabling you to work independently and with confidence. In this intensive period of study you learn research skills, media and materials development to enhance your ability to form ideas. You learn how to evaluate your own working practices and outcomes and are introduced to the range of art, design and communication specialisms which support your choice of pathway. This is delivered through studio projects, lectures, seminars, tutorials and gallery and museum visits.
Stage Two The second stage of the course allows you to elect to study one of the pathways (art, design and communication), focusing on your interests, and abilities. You explore a specialist option in greater depth, and develop your skills of research and evaluation further. Your continued independent investigation of ideas, materials and media is supported through tutorial advice.
go to
The pathways and specialist options are as follows; Art Painting, Sculpture/Drawing Photography/Media Communication Graphics, Illustration, Digital Media Design 3D Product Spatial, Theatre/Film/TV Fashion/Textiles
Stage Three The final stage of the course allows you to write your own project proposal, and develop your personal ideas. The emphasis of this stage of the course is on independent study and development. This project culminates in a body of work that forms your final assessment, and the end of year exhibition.
Progression Throughout the course you have a Personal Tutor who ensures that you have the appropriate guidance to prepare you for Higher Education. This involves preparing an application and the development of a portfolio of subject specific work. Typically students go on to take up their first choice place at undergraduate level with a high number continuing their studies at CCW or within the University. Other students progress onto courses throughout the UK, Europe and beyond.

FINE ART UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME
At Camberwell, we offer a unique way to study Fine Art. Many of the UK’s colleges offer generic Fine Art courses, but at Camberwell you can choose from four distinct, studio-based subjects. By being based in subjects Camberwell’s Fine Art programme offers students a real depth of understanding in specific fields – and by sharing teaching and projects across subjects we have created an approach which centers students in specific areas but welcomes experimentation. Studying Fine Art at Camberwell will mean engaging in a stimulating range of activities – and sharing ideas and feedback with staff and students from within your course and across the other subject areas. The enthusiastic and experienced team of artists, writers and curators will inspire and engage with your work through regular tutorials, seminars and cross-course crits. You will benefit from access to all the colleges workshops and facilities and from the contextual studies lectures and high-profile artist-talks programme. The term ‘thinking through making’ best describes Camberwell’s approach to studio practice, where experienced artists and technicians manage our rich studio culture and excellent technical facilities, enabling you to work in a range of media and processes, including darkrooms, photographic studios, screenprinting, etching, lithography and 3D workshops, and the digital suites. By recognising the importance of our location Camberwell has built an ethos focused on social

responsibility and local and international connectivity. In the second year all Fine Art students are asked to actively question these ideas as they engage with our unique surroundings through group projects and exhibitions. The second year also offers students the opportunity to work with international partners and participate in exchange programmes and overseas visits. There’s a vital emerging art scene in South London. The College runs two exhibition spaces Camberwell Space, and Peckham Space, and shares a site with the South London Gallery, thereby creating many exciting opportunities for students to engage and work with high-profile contemporary artists.
At Camberwell we value making, research and critical thinking. To this ends we have strong working relationships and active research projects with museums, galleries, and arts organisations across London, the UK, and the world.

Art is a demanding subject to study and the Wimbledon BA Fine Art pathways are ambitious, with numerous opportunities to test and develop your ideas and approach to making artwork. In return we expect you to be proactive and committed. Our staff team have an ongoing practice-based involvement in the art world as artists, curators or critics, and their research and behind-the-scenes experience gives you invaluable insights into the contemporary art world. The standard of work at Wimbledon is high and, through your active engagement with the course, you will benefit from the energy and support of a dynamic peer group. It all makes for a stimulating, challenging environment, in which you develop your art practice and acquire the skills you need for a professional career. You benefit from working within two learning communities – across Fine Art and in the smaller, more focused community of your subjectspecific pathway. Each has its own dedicated studio spaces, workshop facilities and pathway-teaching teams, meaning you can develop your work along side students and tutors who share practical and conceptual interests related to your practice. You also work with students from other pathways in

We’re committed to an integrated approach to studio, critical and professional practice, reflected by our range of learning activities and each pathway is based on self-directed practice. They are supported by lectures, seminars, master-classes and live projects, which introduce ideas, knowledge and skills relevant to your pathway and the wider context of contemporary art practice. In your second year (Year Two), you develop your art practice with an emphasis on purposeful experimentation, contextual understanding and critical reflection. You will also initiate, negotiate and carry out a professional work placement. You devote your third year (Year Three) to creating an ambitious, focused body of work leading to your degree show exhibition and final assessment. This year also features professional practice seminars and lectures, an individual in-depth research assignment and mid-year interim exhibition.
Part-Time Study Each pathway offers a part-time mode. You follow the same programme of study but at half the speed – so when each full time stage lasts one year, the part time mode offers for the same experience over two years. As a result it is possible to move between the full and part-time modes at the end of each stage (ie every two years): you could therefore graduate in four, five or six years.

UNDERGRADUATE MONEY ADVICE
same way full-time students do now. For more information please visit: www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance/ The fee for part-time undergraduate courses at Wimbledon and Chelsea is equal to the full threeyear fee of a full-time student and split evenly over the number of years you choose to study which can be four, five or six years.
UG FEES & FUNDING
Equivalent or Lower Level Qualifications (ELQ) In April 2008 the government confirmed that it would no longer provide funding to universities for students who are studying for a qualification that was equivalent to, or at a lower level than one, they had already achieved. Visit the University’s website for full information about how this could affect your course fee at: www.arts.ac.uk/elq.htm
Fees and Funding Information for Foundation Degree (FdA) and BA (Hons) Applicants Tuition Fees (Full Time Study) As you may already be aware from the national media, the Government is withdrawing funding from most undergraduate courses from 2012/13 and so this University will need to charge £9,000 per year to Home/EU students starting undergraduate courses in 2012/13. Tuition fee rates for 2013/14 entry have not yet been agreed but are expected to be around the same level. Most Home/EU undergraduates (except, for example, those who have already undertaken a degree course) will be able to take out a student loan to cover the cost of the course. Home and EU fees for a course lasting more than one year are generally adjusted for inflation each year. Funding for Part-Time Degrees From 2012 UK/EU undergraduate students undertaking part-time study equivalent to at least 25% of an equivalent full-time course will be entitled to apply for tuition fee loans in the

There are two key aspects of the CCW Graduate School that define its distinctiveness: the first is a commitment to create and maintain a direct relationship between research focused activity and teaching ensuring that staff research forms a crucial aspect of our student learning experience. The second is the commitment to providing a series of overarching thematic reference points that form a catalyst for cross-disciplinary exchange and collaboration and a means of responding to broader social and cultural agendas. We have identified four thematic areas: Social Engagement, Environment, Identities and Technologies. These themes will be explored through our Graduate School events programme and at those points during the year when we bring together our research communities and external partners in focused projects and activities. These features of the Graduate School form the basis for a community of practice and provide an opportunity for individual and group work that is informed by a rigorous critical framework that sets creative practice and enquiry in a broader social, cultural and economic context. Consequently it is our aim to engender a relationship to urgent issues of our time and highlight the need to explore innovative solutions to address the way we, and others, enact our futures.

CCW GRADUATE SCHOOL
The CCW Graduate School is the home of our postgraduate students, professors, readers and fellows as well as our established research centres and research networks. Central to the success of the CCW Graduate School is the calibre of staff and students, the quality of its research provision and the existence of real and sustainable partnerships with external institutions and key individuals in the cultural sector and beyond. The CCW Graduate School has strong international links. Last year our students were involved in a number of exchanges including the Tokyo Wondersite.
CCW
We have around 600 students from across the world coming to study on our postgraduate art, design and communication programmes with subjects ranging from Drawing at Wimbledon through to Conservation at Camberwell to Fine Art at Chelsea. Our courses have international reputations and alumni who are the leading artists and designers of the contemporary art world. The CCW Graduate School ethos reflects the academic vision and rational founded on the strong traditions of these three specialist art colleges. These reputations are for well established, high quality, postgraduate provision, and mature research cultures that are equally comfortable and experienced in supporting practice-led and theoretical-based research in art and design disciplines.

POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMME
The Course On the internationally renowned MA Fine Art at Chelsea, one of the longest-running postgraduate fine art courses in the UK, we are committed to developing the dialogue across the whole spectrum of fine art practice. It is a distinct feature of this intensively taught course, which provides you with a valuable bridge between study and professional practice. You learn in a stimulating, challenging environment, in which we encourage you to generate discourse and re-evaluate practice with each other. You need to be committed to producing a high level of independent work, underpinned by a challenging theoretical curriculum and instruction in approaches to research methodology. The course is aimed primarily at fine art graduates keen to progress their practice to a professional level within a studio-based setting. We also welcome applications from students who see the practice of fine art as central to their professional aspirations and individual development.
Many students go on to set up their own studio practices, developing strong professional links with galleries and curators at national and international levels. Graduates from MA Fine Art at Chelsea include world-renowned artists and Turner Prize nominees and winners, including Anish Kapoor, Mike Nelson, Peter Doig, Stephen Pippin, Rebecca Warren, Kimio Tsuchiya, Mariele Neudecker and Andreas Oelhert.

The Highlights The course is specifically designed as a launch pad in terms of professional development and opportunities, through a tailor-made professional practice programme. This learning is then tested through on and offsite projects. This means that you develop meaningful links with external agencies, which adds to your contextual and professional portfolio. As such you submit a professional portfolio rather than an academic paper which contextualises, and analyses your artwork across the different stages of the course. This course adopts innovative communication and problem solving methodologies that were developed in the professional art world – such as Pecha Kucha’s, Bar Camps, Posters events, and World Cafés – and combines them with established teaching methods such as 1:1 tutorials, group tutorials, themed seminars, reading groups. The course is taught by experts in painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, film and video and sited art practice, as well as gallerists and curators.
The Course
The Future
The MFA Fine Art course at Wimbledon is centred around you claiming and owning your art practice through a sustained practical enquiry in tandem with contextual research. It is designed to support your resilience and adaptability as an emerging artist, through being able to experiment and develop your artwork over a two year period. As art cannot be created in a vacuum, the course explores what we mean by context. This includes the international art world and the fine art discourses that this generates; where and how we produce our work; and how context might be understood through engagement with your audience or a site.
The MFA Fine Art is committed to supporting you with the skills, knowledge, and understanding necessary to continue your creative practice as a professional artist, critic and writer, curator, artist’s assistant or arts professional working in education, archives, or project management

CAMBERWELL
MA BOOK ARTS “Camberwell’s MA Book Arts students are at the cutting edge of defining books arts. They push the boundaries of what a book is and can be.” SUSAN JOHANKNECHT, PATHWAY LE ADER
POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMME
The Course Camberwell was the first College in the UK to offer specialist postgraduate study to students in the emerging field of book arts. Fuelled by advances in electronic information, media and online publishing, the book has been freed from its traditional role as a container of information. Ongoing debates about the cultural, individual and creative functions of the book underpin our course discussions. Your studies are complemented by lectures, seminars and workshops. These are designed to support you in developing your research skills, professional practice and understanding of the wider context of book arts as an area of fine art and design practice. You will benefit from a shared lecture programme across the Visual Arts courses, which draws upon the richness of College research and that across the CCW Graduate School.
The Future The skills and knowledge you develop on this course could lead you to follow in the footsteps of graduates who have begun careers as book artists, curators, freelance designers, workshop leaders and teachers. Others have moved on to further study at doctorate level. Our graduates have won many prizes including the Sovereign Asian Art Prize, Crafts Council Development Awards, the Seoul Book Fair Prize and the London Book Fair Prize.

JONATHAN KE ARNE Y, PATHWAY LE ADER
The Future
MA Digital Arts concerns art which uses, engages with and is impacted by the digital. We don’t define the digital environment in any narrow sense on this course, rather we explore the breadth of this, as yet, undefined medium. Fine Art is traditionally painting, sculpture, printmaking and the performance arts. Digital Arts, however, make connections which weren’t previously possible – they blur and break the boundaries between disciplines. Investigating art in a digital environment is all about possibilities. So, a unique final exhibition combining work from our students in London with that of our students online around the world, completes the course.
Our graduates have gone on to work as artists and creative practitioners in a variety of professional settings. Many former students progress to MPhil and PhD research.

Students from countries across North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia have studied on this course. Our focus is art that uses, engages with and is impacted by the digital. And our definition of the digital environment is far from narrow as we explore the breadth of this, as yet, undefined medium.

Many students contribute to exhibitions and events in their own cities and countries. The diversity of both the online and face-to-face pathways add significantly to the richness of the course. Exploring art in a digital environment is all about possibilities. So, a unique final exhibition, combining work from our students in London with that of our online students around the world, completes the course.

Camberwell College of Arts is widely regarded as the place to study printmaking, and our teaching and work are internationally renowned. We explore printmaking not only as a medium in its own right, but in respect of its relationship with wider contemporary practices. We respond to current debates about the role of skill and authorship in the creation of artworks, and the notion of the unique work of art. Artists are using printmaking technologies in more varied and experimental approaches than ever before. So we’ve invested in both traditional and digital methods at Camberwell to help you develop your ideas through print media. We promote an innovative approach, introducing you to all forms of autographic printmaking. These include intaglio, lithographic (plate and stone), relief print, screen-printing, letterpress and computer generated processes.

The Highlights You gain an insight into your personal artistic ambitions and build knowledge of professional practice on this course. This is helped by the discussions you have with visiting practitioners, as well as the rich artistic environment you will experience both within the College and across London. You have the chance for independent activities, too, including trips to illustration conventions and The Bologna Book Fair. On MA Illustration we also encourage you to take part in group exhibitions, competitions and commissions.
The Future
The Course Camberwell College of Arts has a long tradition of imaginative illustrative art, and MA Illustration builds on this strength. Through a series of workshops, discussion groups, one-on-one tutorials, you develop a proposal for an ambitious, engaging project that will last the length of the course. It is a time to test out and implement your critical and practical skills, as well as consider how your practice should develop and any new directions you may choose to take. Many of our students decide to participate in external ventures, competitions or exhibitions, and form their own discussion groups while on the course. Students on MA Illustration also find that they benefit from interaction with other subjects. It will help you build your research skills and offers enhanced opportunities for networking and career development. You will also be exposed to the shared lecture programme and crosscourse seminars which draw upon the richness of the research within the College and across the CCW Graduate School.

When you leave us, your range of creative destinations will be wide. Former students have had many successes including book contracts, and work on comic strips, children’s books, and display windows for retail outlets and offices.

“At Wimbledon, MA Drawing encourages an investigation of process, and an exploration of cross-disciplinary territories. This course interrogates drawing for a purpose.” MICHAEL PAVELK A , COURSE LE ADER
WIMBLEDON
MA DRAWING document, records how critical practice talks, seminars and your own research makes connections with your drawing practice. We also make visits to professional or industrial organisations, galleries, and other venues to establish broader perspectives and collaborations. Through making and studio practice, underpinned with critical practice, you develop and examine your individual approach to drawing.
The Future
MA Drawing at Wimbledon is aimed at students from diverse practices who have a strong belief in drawing and want to explore the discipline as a means to an end or as an end in itself. It is a unique opportunity for you to interrogate and re-orientate your practice through drawing as you focus on processes, techniques and cross-disciplinary dialogues that centre on communicating ideas to an audience, client or user. Divergent practice is the course’s starting point, and we stimulate connections and collaborations between different subjects and disciplines through drawing. These may include design, fine art, writing, architecture, the sciences, performance and dance. The course structure encourages you to develop external collaborations, placements or links, as you work directly with key art, design and drawing archives.
The MA Drawing course supports your practice with the skills, knowledge and cross-disciplinary understanding necessary to work as a creative individual in the professional world. It also acts as preparation for practice-led PhD study.

MA CURATING
82
“On this course, we consider curating as a practice which cuts across different activities and spaces, including physical and virtual, and is not applied exclusively to the production of gallery or museum exhibitions. You will learn about curating exhibitions, events, public programmes, collections, archives, situated and communityspecific projects within and outside the realm of art institutions.” DR R AFAL NIEMOJE WSKI, COURSE LE ADER
during a series of workshops led by academic staff. You will be encouraged to engage in collaborative projects with your peers throughout the course. You will also enjoy access to gallery spaces and public programmes located within the three CCW Colleges.
The Highlights When you finish the course, you will be well placed to work within the current art institutional sector, particularly in institutions with an interdisciplinary ethos or those interested in developing critical and engaged public programming. You will gain not only knowledge and experience, but the confidence and contacts needed to build up your portfolio as an independent curator.
The Course
The Future
This one-year Masters programme offers recent graduates and existing professionals the opportunity to develop and advance their curatorial practice through research, taught courses, workshops, project-based work and encounters with leading practitioners. Core seminars explore the changing definitions of curating through the study of exhibition histories and curatorial genealogies against a dynamic landscape of institutions, social policies and technologies. Guest lectures offer an opportunity to meet some of the key figures in the contemporary art world (curators, artists and critics) and explore the pioneering projects and ideas, which guide and define today’s curatorial and artistic practices. You will also have an opportunity to meet practitioners at their workplace during guided visits to public and commercial galleries and artist studios. You will acquire and refine your curatorial skill-set (including writing catalogue essays, reviews and project proposals as well as completing grant applications, risk assessments, loan agreements etc)
Many of our graduates go on to work as curators, either independently or within an arts organisation, gallery or museum. Others become exhibition organisers or curate or develop public programmes and exhibitions. Some students choose to continue their studies at PhD level, focused on exhibition history and curatorial practice. MA Curating at Chelsea will provide you with the critical, historical and contextual studies to prepare you for the next level in your career.

POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMME
We place emphasis on the importance of practice in the development of theory. Contemporary art practices often integrate theory, so our MA in Art Theory makes practice the starting point in learning new analytical and interpretative tools. We reflect this focus in the project-led nature of the course, and our tutors work with each student to develop individual projects based on individual interests, needs and talents. Theory draws on textual, performance, poetic, philosophical, political and scientific approaches. You become familiar with fundamental historical trends in art theory as well as key moments in art practice. It means being able to discuss and shed new light on aspects of your work in relation to contemporary theoretical debates. The course is aimed at people with an active interest in the visual arts. You could be an established practitioner keen to use theoretical reflection and exploration to enhance your practice. It’s just as likely that you’re someone with an emerging curiosity about art practice, art criticism, exhibitions, education, policy or curating.
The Highlights We work closely with MA Curating, and draw on the resources of the three CCW Graduate School Colleges, including the libraries, archives and special collections, as well as the Chelsea and Peckham Space galleries.

Different contexts and applications of Graphic Design Communication continue to permeate across culture, society, commerce and even science. We respond to this challenge by teaching you how to organise and use design thinking in highly individual ways. From this position we encourage innovative thinking and experimentation through the use and mix of specialist practical skills and techniques. Your approach might broaden to include collaborations with other subject specialisms or you may adopt an interdisciplinary approach to your own practice in order to realise solutions. Tutors will help you initiate frameworks for projects within which theoretical research and design practice are purposefully questioned and explored in relation to a theme, problem, or proposition. At the centre of this you will learn how to develop your own rigorous design process, which will provide you with the means to employ critical thinking, shape materials and forms, generate and communicate content, develop prototypes and engage with audience testing. Our approach aims to deepen your understanding of the subject and issues of design whilst supporting you in building a personal and sustainable approach to your practice. We invite applicants from a broad range of art, design and media technology-based practices who wish to make a significant contribution to exploring the contexts and definitions of Graphic Design Communication at Masters level.

GRADUATE DIPLOMA INTERIOR DESIGN “This full time one year programme is the equivalent to the third year of an interior design undergraduate course. The course centres on relationships, attitudes and material technologies that are fundamental to the interior design profession. We boast strong links with industry and each year our students are involved in a series of live projects during which they gain valuable experience and make important contacts. Ultimately the course will provide you with the skills and experience required for a career in the field of interior design, or for further study at masters level.�
Unit C Professional Context is a unit concerned with critical reflection on professional practice and creative processes. You become conversant with the notion of addressing research questions and learn how to keep a reflective journal. You learn about professional communication within the practice of interior design and specifically the writing requirements of an interior designer when they are reflecting upon and communicating design proposals.
Unit C On completion of this course you should feel confident about working as a professional interior designer. Before you leave we encourage you to arrange a meeting with an employability adviser to discuss the next step in the direction of your choice.

The Course
The Highlights
evolving projects that have a strong specialist agenda, or which question the boundaries between architecture, design and fine art. This mode is particularly appropriate for students coming from a fine art or architectural background who want to explore more conceptual spatial concerns falling outside conventional notions of interior design. Professional Practice Orientated This area of study emphasises site investigation and spatial resolution, where you bring your research concerns to a site condition that is negotiated with staff. Here the outcomes are focused on the detailed design resolution of interventions into existing architectural or built conditions, and on the developing of challenging social programmes to engage with a wide cultural environment.
The Future Many of our former students work in architectural and design practices, while others continue their practice as fine artists and have exhibited internationally. Some graduates have established design companies, written architectural books, and made films and furniture. Others continue their studies at doctorate level.

We have a unique identity on MA Interior and Spatial Design, being part of an arts school tradition rather than linked to an architectural school. We are internationally renowned for our culturally diverse course, and for encouraging experimentation, along with the questioning of disciplinary boundaries and conventional definitions about what constitutes spatial practice. We are also committed to the notion of ‘space-making’ as a design activity distinct from architecture. You address issues about how we inhabit space and develop sensibilities about intervening into existing architectural structures or situations. While we engage with the language of architecture, our expertise is the experiential aspects of what it is to inhabit and interact with our spatial environment. This can encompass interior and exterior situations, with outcomes ranging from the functional design of built structures, fine art installations and furniture, to film and computer animation.
