The second half of the year extends the material understanding and skill base within design projects. This is underpinned by Theoretical and Contextual Studies, Business and Professional Practice, and Health and Safety.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Level 2</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">You will continue to develop your theoretical and practical skills through continuous tutorial consultation and supervision enabling you to acquire a firmer sense of your creative strengths and skills, and to define and refine your personal aesthetic. You will be encouraged to work on set and self-initiated projects which are supported by Design Development, and Theoretical and Contextual Studies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Level 3</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">You will follow an individually designed programme, agreed by the subject tutors and making full use of the workshop facilities, within which to demonstrate your creative flair, manufacturing capability and professionalism. The final examination comprises practical work, assignments, and a portfolio which includes sketchbooks, design drawings and a contextual journal.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, workshops, individual and group tutorials, presentations and, in the final year, an individually supervised dissertation. We use a variety of methods to assess your learning, reflecting the fact that we all learn in different ways. For Design these may include formal on line examination, essays, project work, presentations, and a final exhibition of practical work.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>You may also be interested in...</h2> <p><a href="/undergraduate/undergraduatecourses/creativeandperformingarts/">Creative &amp; Performing Arts</a></p> <p><a href="/undergraduate/undergraduatecourses/fineart/">Fine Art</a></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> </div>
