Art and Design (3d Studies)

Assessment

The course is currently assessed by an internal unit of coursework which counts for 60% and an external exam which counts for 40%. To support and develop our students’ subject knowledge, they have visited cities such as Liverpool and Manchester to view galleries and architecture, as well as visiting the Great Northern contemporary craft fair and the Grand Designs exhibition in Birmingham. There are a number of specialist fields that our students explore, and these include Architecture, Sculpture, Product Design, Furniture, Lighting Design, Ceramics, and Jewellery. Whatever the specialism, students receive all the support they need in our industry standard workshops and during their study periods have access to supported ‘Drop-In’ workshops once fully trained on all machinery.
