This is a third-year top-up course so you will have the opportunity to develop your existing skills, knowledge, and understanding in order to produce a professional portfolio that represents who you are as a creative media practitioner. You will produce a number of pieces of work and one final major project which brings these skills together, thus developing a portfolio of work that you can use when looking for work after graduation. In recent years our students have visited the Hong Kong Design Institute and worked with students there to create a pop-up degree show*. *For further information please check the course page on the Coventry University website
