How you will learn
Teaching
As a practice-based Master's degree, most of your time will be spent in studios or off-site developing work alongside tutorial supervision. You will have technical workshops, seminars and critiques to discuss your work with colleagues, tutors and visiting artists.
Class sizes
Lectures, seminars or tutorials are normally attended by smaller groups. Numbers can vary more widely for modules that are shared between degrees.
Students also take part in shared/collaborative modules with students on other creative arts course, providing a perfect opportunity to develop skills in group and teamwork.
Independent learning
Outside of timetabled sessions, you are also expected to dedicate time to independent study (around 8-10 hours per module per week).
Every module will involve further reading and research. You will also be expected to spend time preparing for classwork such as presentations and group discussions, and for assessed coursework and examinations.
You can use our Stockwell Street library and online resources is available for academic research and study.
During the week you can also:
- Attend guest lectures from industry experts
- Take part in employability and enterprise workshops
- Join Student Societies.
Overall workload
The course offers modules worth 30 and 60 credits. If you are studying full-time, you should expect the workload to be similar to a full-time job (approx. 40 hours per week in total).
Assessment
Each course has formal summative assessments which count towards your final grade. Portfolio submission and oral presentations will be used for practice-based courses. Written essays will also form a portion of your degree.
Throughout the year you will receive formative feedback through group critiques and one-to-one tutorials. These will help you monitor progress and do not count towards your final grade.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
