More information on English language requirements and equivalencies.
Students applying for this course are expected to be independent and highly motivated, preferably having completed one year at university level (undergraduate-level study).
The course is studio and practice based and work on the projects is complemented by a programme of presentations and group discussions. We focus on discussion during the course and talking about your work in the context of contemporary art practices. The course will assist you in developing practical, critical and conceptual skills. It will encourage your own development as an artist. You will also receive an introduction to London's contemporary art scene. You will go on known gallery trips, to the harder to find London galleries. These visits will complement and contextualise the work that you are making.
The course is aimed at students with a strong commitment and an inquisitive approach to contemporary art practice.

A selection of art materials are provided on the course; additional art materials can also be purchased at a discounted price from the college shop.
The course does not have a bias towards a particular media or discipline, and encourages you to be concept-led, which means you could make anything, with anything. If you tend to work with specific materials or equipment, please bring these with you, where practical.
