Course summary
This unique learning experience at Aberystwyth University allows you to follow a self-selected pathway through and across our four creative disciplines simultaneously: Fine Art; Creative Writing; Theatre, Performance and Scenography; and Film & Television. You will select a range of modules from each discipline which will include one cultural contexts module during the three years. As well as your own self-selected suite of module options you will follow the suite of interdisciplinary core modules: Interdisciplinary Practice 1 - 6. In these modules you will work together as a group through a series of weekly practice and process based workshops towards a collective student led outcome. You will also conceive and develop a series of independent self-directed interdisciplinary research and practice projects contributing to a portfolio of six projects developed over the three-year course. You will have the opportunity to exhibit your six projects in two public exhibitions each year, the first at the School of Art and the second at the RIBA award-winning Aberystwyth Arts Centre, staging your site-specific intervention projects in and around the centre in one of the UK’s largest Arts Centres and ‘national flagship for the arts’ with over 70,000 visitors a year. You will develop key skills in professional practice through the group workshops, your self-directed practice, the event managing opportunities open to the 3rd year and the public exhibitions, giving you the skills you need to move directly into the creative industry. Our graduates have moved on to become employees in the following institutions: Design Council Arts Council Tate Gallery Royal Academy Carlton Television The Observer Saachi Gallery Damien Hirst BBC.
