Key facts

Coursework, particularly a series of creative projects in your final year, constitutes this course’s assessment and factors into the manner of its teaching: as your personal vision and developing artistic language are paramount, so too are experimentation, innovation and challenge to this curriculum.

Supporting this approach are the University of Wolverhampton’s facilities – specialist workshops and studio environments – where forward-thinking perspectives towards drawing, printmaking and collage (analogue and digital) among others are incentivised.
