One of the units of coursework will be slightly more 'taught' with workshops geared at increasing awareness of a variety of media although linked with a common theme.

They will be encouraged and expected to investigate and research independently as well as analyse their concepts and references in depth, forming careful judgements and opinions about their own work and that of others.
