This course asks you to rigorously re-examine your Studio, Critical and Professional Practices. These areas of research will cross reference to create a new level of understanding in terms of both your current practice, and its future possibilities. We call this practice-led research, and it underpins all aspects of your study.

Practice-led research is used as a form of investigation in terms of media, processes, meanings and context. As Studio and Critical Practice are viewed holistically, you are encouraged to conceptualise your art practice as a project of research.

This course places great emphasis on professionalism and developing your career aspirations. The professional practice lectures and seminars run alongside practical events, which involve exhibiting and promoting your work both within and outside College.

Finally, the course creates a network of critical debates, peer learning, interaction and collaboration. The programme of research led presentations involving PhD students and supervisors, generate a range of debates within the Wimbledon graduate community (which includes the Centre for Drawing) and throughout the Graduate School. The course is also outward looking and engages with a range of cultural, educational and social communities - including the CCW (Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon) Graduate School, and events or projects organised between the Colleges.
