HIGH

QUALITY TEACHING

Cardiff Met was awarded Silver status in the latest (2017) Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) – one of only four universities in Wales to achieve this.

RESEARCH STUDY At Cardiff Met, we engage in research that is at the interface of new knowledge creation and its application. With an excellent track record in applied research, supported by a strong base of expertise and advanced scholarship, the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research has direct application in business, industry, the professions and the community at large.

DOCTORAL STUDY The University offers a suite of opportunities for doctoral study, each tailored to different needs. All doctorates are granted in recognition of a sustained period of supervised research leading to new knowledge and/or theory. This research may be conducted in any number of ways and may include data from any number of different sources. For example: data analysis, experimentation, field studies, creative practice and critical analysis.

Every skill that I learnt in my PhD, I use every single day in my job now. That includes the technical skills like measuring heart and blood vessel function, but also the softer skills, like how to write a research paper, how to communicate your work in scientific presentations or to general audiences, or how to work with participants/ patients to make them feel comfortable. I built a lot of knowledge during my PhD, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean I have stopped learning, I think maybe I am just a little more efficient at it now! Victoria Meah, PhD in Exercise Physiology

While studying my undergraduate degree, I began taking a keen interest in the field of Data Science. Noticing my developing passion, my lecturer directed me to an application for a PhD at Cardiff Met that was perfectly suited to my interests. The team supported me constantly through the application process to make it as swift as possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredible thought that at the age of 24 I could graduate once again, but this time with the title of Doctor. I am keen to start my studies and excited to see what the future holds with Cardiff Met. Joel Pinney, PhD in Data Science

With 25 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience in Procurement, it was important when committing to a programme of study for a PhD that the University I would select could challenge me from an academic and professional perspective. I am pleased to say that Cardiff Met - through my Director of Studies and Supervisor achieved this. The interaction with my peer group students also contributed to my learning and personal skillset. I have applied my learnings from the PhD in the procurement function of a FTSE 100 Oil and Gas organisation, as well as in my new role at a world leading medical device company in South Wales. In addition, I am also now acting as a subject matter expert in the supervision of another PhD student at Cardiff Met. Dr. David Allcock, PhD in Procurement

My experience of studying a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programme in Fashion at Cardiff Met has been an exciting one. Throughout the programme, autonomous learning was encouraged. To create the output of my MA thesis, I was able to venture beyond the boundaries of fashion to produce a multifaceted garment incorporating programmable technologies. Throughout the process my tutors were overwhelmingly supportive, helping identify the required parts and materials, and introducing me to coding. As a designer, my newly acquired knowledge and skills have helped me become more conscious of my field and my surroundings; as a teacher, I will be able to impart more enhanced insights to my future students; as a person I have gained maturity and confidence. Bea Bajarias, MA Fashion Design

The past year studying the Master in Fine Art has been extremely informative and inspirational to me as a young student aspiring to be an artist. Visiting the Liverpool Biennial with some of my peers, working closely with other students in our studio space and producing and curating exhibitions are just some of the exceptional experiences I’ve had during the past year. However, the pinnacle for me was the chance to work as an invigilator at the Venice Biennale for five weeks, representing Wales and Sean Edwards’s exhibition ‘Undo Things Done’. I was able to apply for this once-in-a-life-time experience through Cardiff Met, as three students were chosen to work in Venice as part of the Wales in Venice team. The experience of working with the team has opened many doors for me and inspired my practice greatly. It allowed me to meet art enthusiasts from across Wales and discuss our practice and possible collaborations. I was also able to have tutorials with successful artists and curators regarding my practice and even got to live in Venice and experience the Biennale for over a month. I’m extremely grateful to the University for providing this amazing experience, and I will cherish the memories for the rest of my life. Gwenllian Llwyd, Fine Art MFA

Global Design MDes/PgD/PgC As global designers we are equipped with the values, principles, practices and processes to create pervasive acts and outputs that address the crisis threatening the future of the planet and its people. We must optimise the imagination, speculation and vision of our craft to bring together and activate scientists, technologists, ecologists and politicians in a mission to improve lives now. Our MDes Global Design programme is for designers who want to play their part in that mission. We are looking for committed graduates who are passionate about activating global, local and individual change in order to build a sustainable and vibrant future for the planet, its ecologies and its people. Working collaboratively with local and global communities, you will develop a self-identified project in partnership with real-world clients and established researchers. Throughout the programme you will engage in methods, processes and approaches to designing for change in a way that is simultaneously playful and speculative, as well as intensely rigorous. The programme allows students from both practice and non-practice backgrounds to explore an interest in relation to sustainability, ethics, health, safety and the environment through a research culture that prioritises relationship building, trans-and inter-disciplinary exploration and stakeholder collaboration. Whether your focus is research-led practice or practice-led research, we expect you to locate your research interests within the wider global, ethical, social and political contexts relevant to the landscape of contemporary Art & Design research. The MDes Global Design programme enables you to enhance your career as, or to become, an established designer, leading towards a career, a PhD, or a Professional Doctorate in either art or design.

Programme Length: 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time.

My passion has always been solving problems that matter, and my early career focused on developing new commercial products for companies such as Apple and Ericsson. In recent years I have collaborated with a range of organisations to undertake research into the design and development of new innovation tools and strategies, and helped companies to develop new products and services. As a consequence I became fascinated by the factors and processes affecting personal and organisational creativity, so I started to dig deeper into creativity research. Creativity is about creating new solutions for the economy, companies, communities, individuals and for the planet. It is crucial for the success of organisations in the future, and in tackling the challenges that society faces. There are many factors that affect creativity, from personal motivation, engagement and skill development to organisational structures, strategies and processes. Understanding all these factors and their interrelationships is important as it has implications for how we enable creativity to thrive inside organisations, and for how we educate our students. My research has therefore helped inform the design of our learning and teaching spaces, and how we support and help foster student creativity. Dr Gareth Loudon, Professor of Creativity, Cardiff School of Art & Design 23

Completing a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree has been a positive experience. It has allowed me to develop as an artist and expand my work through self-directed study, research and practice, helping me form a more professional and complete portfolio. That in turn allows me to apply for a wider variety of jobs in the industry. Throughout the programme I had the opportunity to meet and work with other artists on several projects, gaining valuable experience in co-operating with people with different skill-sets. The most important aspect of the programme has been further developing my own style as an artist throughout the year, and consequently deciding which direction I wish to follow professionally, and where to focus my energy and art in order to be successful as an artist. Markos Kyriakopoulos, MA Illustration & Animation

Illustration & Animation MA/PgD/PgC The role of the illustrator or animator is not ephemeral, temporary or mere entertainment. It is ecological, cultural, political and technological, challenging the momentum of the twenty-first century. Illustrators and animators must deploy their skills and imagination to respond to the wider political and cultural climate with more urgency and vigour than ever. Imagination is a powerful force, able to create and configure new ideas and develop dreams for both the individual and humanity as a whole. This Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree programme provides illustrators and animators with the skills and knowledge to effectively harness this power in their unique practice. This programme will appeal to graduates of any discipline of the visual arts, as well as professionals looking to sharpen their critical and theoretical skills. You will explore the role of the illustrator or animator through speculative methods in an interdisciplinary environment. Through a combination of self-directed studio practice, lectures, seminar sessions and reading groups, you will be closely and individually guided in the exploration of your own practice through your proposed project, as a critical and redirective process. We look to recruit brave, speculative, imaginative, and dedicated creative graduates who share our leading-edge-research concern for illustration and/or animation, and our instinct to imagine and explain. Our MA Illustration & Animation programme will enable you to enhance your career as, or to become, an established illustrator, artist, or animator, leading towards a career, a PhD, or to a Professional Doctorate in either art or design.

Programme Length: 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time.

My experience as a postgraduate student at Cardiff Met has been one of tremendous personal, academic, and professional growth. The staff at the School of Art and Design are caring, encouraging, and have made me feel like part of a team and part of a wider family, rather than just a student. My supervisors and director of studies have guided me in a way that has greatly developed my confidence and independence in more than just academia. The research I conducted during my PhD has allowed me to help further develop state-of-the-art technology and software, and develop novel guidelines that have had real life implications in the Welsh food industry. I have been supported by the University to attend conferences which have also garnered great interest in commercial and academic collaborations between our university and other institutions and industry. Abbie Lawrence, PhD Thought for Food: An evidence-led approach to improving Welsh food industry competitiveness

We also work closely with other research centres across the University. Our Art & Design MRes programme provides an excellent foundation for a career in creative research, as an arts professional who undertakes any form of research driven practice in their field, or for anyone planning to go on to complete a PhD or DProf.

Programme Length: 12 or 18 months full-time or 2 years part-time.

Entry Requirements: A good undergraduate honours degree (2:1 or above) is normally required for entry. However, applicants with relevant professional experience or qualifications are welcomed and will be considered individually. Students who have a weaker overall undergraduate degree but who have demonstrated excellence in the theoretical aspects of Art & Design may also be considered.

Product Design MSc/PgD/PgC The MSc Product Design is a practically based, taught Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programme with excellent industry links and a focus on enhancing the employability of its graduates. It balances the development of advanced practical design skills with academic rigour and applied research based on the current research activities of Cardiff School of Art & Design and the wider university. The programme will develop your skills and knowledge of human centred interaction design, user testing, service design, creativity, and ethnographic research techniques. You will also examine the social, legal, ethical and sustainability impacts of a range of design development approaches. You will explore a range of current and leading theoretical and methodological perspectives, and develop an advanced understanding of physical, perceptual and cognitive principles in design. The programme has been developed in consultation with industry, and maintains close commercial links through placement modules, sponsorship of major projects, and live briefs. This provides graduates with a deeper understanding of industry practices, and the design development process in a holistic commercial context. This programme aims to enhance your employability by providing you with the skills and knowledge that are in demand by industries both at home and globally, as well as providing opportunities to develop your abilities as an entrepreneur. Completing this Product Design Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree will provide you with the skills and knowledge to become an effective, established designer or design manager, or to pursue a PhD or Professional Doctorate in a design related area.

Programme Length: 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time.

My main reason for studying the MSc programme was to further prepare me for industry. While I believe that the undergraduate programme offered more than enough preparation for a role as a designer, I knew there was more I could get from the Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; a chance to get one step ahead of the competition and develop a more detailed approach to product design. Tom Fantom, MSc Product Design

EXPERT FOCUS I came to Cardiff Met after working within a range of food science roles in the food industry. I have always loved science, and as everyone has to eat, these two fields merged within my studies and formed the basis of my drive into the food sector. The science of making food safe is something I believe everyone should understand, as it still causes 600 million people globally to be ill each year. Throughout my working life, my career has allowed me to travel and experience a wide range of cultures. This has made a huge impact on both my life and my career. It has allowed me to understand food in many ways. From cultivating to processing to consumption, having a global perspective on the drivers behind food and international markets has helped shape my learning and career development. Food is not just used for survival. It can be used to bring people together, create relationships, form social groups, unite different cultures, for sports performance, as a medicine, and in celebration... Ultimately, everyone has to eat, so as a career it is a sustainable industry to work in. Simon Dawson, MRes FHEA MIFST CSci, Programme Director for MSc Food Science and Technology 80

EXPERT FOCUS I came to sport psychology later in life after my first career as an RAF Officer. I have always had a passion for swimming and an introduction to psychology via the Open University made me question how I could bring my two passions of sport and psychology together. A love of learning took me on a journey through a second MSc, a PhD, and a professional practice qualification. Fast forward fifteen years and I am now a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Cardiff Met and a Chartered Sport Psychologist working with athletes from individual sports across all levels of sport. I truly believe that sport psychology is one of those subjects where we can make a real difference not only to athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance but also to the quality of their lives in respect of mental wellbeing. My philosophy is that for me to achieve this, I need to be an allrounder: research informs both my teaching and my practice and vice versa. I hope that the students and athletes who I work with benefit from that multifaceted approach to the subject, and that the MSc Sport Psychology, in particular prepares students for the next stage of their journey to become sport psychologists, researchers, teachers, or individuals who can adopt a critical view of the world of sport to inform their (and othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) practice.

1 year full-time or 2 years part-time.

Entry Requirements: Applicants will be expected to hold an honours degree (2:1 or above) in a discipline area that is acceptable to the Programme Director.

When I enrolled in the MSc Strength and Conditioning programme I knew I wanted to pursue the fitness industry as a career. The programme has a good mixture of classroom and practical based learning allowing me to explore coaching as both, a science and an art. It not only taught me evidence based principles, but how to relay the information in practical terms to get a desired outcome. Ryan Stevens, MSc Strength & Conditioning

My internship at the Newport Dragons not only bolstered my competence in working with elite, male athletes but also gave me the opportunity to learn from some of the top rugby coaching staff and athletes in the world. I was given the reins to one of the senior players for programming and implementation. This allowed me to fully create a resistance program that targets his main goals as a scrumhalf, and to coach him through each of his workouts. Mollie Martin, MSc Strength & Conditioning

Industry experts from various fields in Tech were invited as guest speakers during seminars and workshops to further stimulate our understanding and expand on concepts we had been taught in class, as well as give insights into the industry. The programme structure allowed for more independent research with my peers along with presentations opportunities, which greatly impacted my understanding on the subject matter and how to effectively communicate my point across to an audience. I have gained not only technical knowledge and proficiency, but also research-based thinking and critical thinking. I have also been able to establish valuable relationships with peers as well as professors, which I am certain to leverage regardless of whatever path my career takes.
