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. These are an opportunity to apply specialist skills and knowledge in response to themes and provocations and expand the range of their application.
