Aims of the Programme: The programme is intended to: â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Ś.. 1. To answer the needs of the industry by training multi skilled imagers and workers in response to the rapid change in technology and communications necessitating a shift in the way designers function, identifying a need for designers who although have an individual focus, will also have skills and knowledge that is transferable across the industry. 2. To provide an academic framework that stimulates debate, the identification of interests, intentions and ideas that encourages innovation and the questioning of received habits, codes and conventions of thought, production and signification. To encourage students to put their work into context and identify personal creative directions and interests. 3. To provide students with an opportunity to become active, reflective and selfcritical learners with a sound understanding of the relationship between theoretical frameworks and the active empirical methods of enquiry which inform the development, interpretation and re-evaluation of theory. 4. To promote informed awareness of the cultural, social, historical and contemporary contexts of the subjects studied to prepare students for personal development, further study, professional practice and employability.

Programme Intended Learning Outcomes (LO): By the end of this programme the student will be able to: 1. Utilise a range of image making and manipulation skills and processes appropriate to their chosen field. 2. Present, evaluate and interpret information, develop lines of argument and make sound judgements 3. Develop realistic aims, ideas and goals and be self-motivated demonstrate a critical, analytical and creative response to problem solving 4. Demonstrate an informed awareness of the cultural, social, historical and contemporary contexts of the subject studied. 5. Apply the qualities and transferable skills necessary for personal development, further study and employment.

Brief Description of the Programme

This programme is for imaginative, creative people wishing to develop an experimental approach to visual communication. Workshops include, illustration, animation, printmaking, book arts, digital manipulation, and fine art practices. Drawing is a central component of the course and critical to the development of ideas. 5

Students will explore image and narrative in a creative and energetic working environment responding to the increasingly cross-disciplinary nature of current practice. The course prepares students for progression into industry or further study at undergraduate level. 2.
