Course overview
Specialisation 2 builds on Specialisation 1 to broaden students range of intermediate level technical, conceptual and material skills, and further knowledge of the histories, guiding theories, and contemporary practices of the two studio disciplines chosen in Specialisation 1: Studio specific workshops, and history and theory modules are augmented by studio projects shared with students across all specialisations.
