Workshop and studio-based learning allows students to explore a range of 2D, 3D and digital media. The course encourages a multidisciplinary approach, and provides each student with the opportunity to experiment, and discover their preferred media and pathway.
Visiting professional practitioners and study trips to galleries and museums enrich the understanding of this dynamic multicultural capital and its creative industries.
Successful completion of the course provides students with the opportunity to progress to an undergraduate course at LCC. A very small number of students, in exceptional circumstances, may progress to our Certificate in Higher Education: Preparation for Design, Media and Screen, where it is in the interests of the student to develop their skills further before undertaking a degree.
