Course Overview

The ethos of the Department is that the study of art and design is a culturally and economically significant endeavor that is intellectually challenging and emotionally rewarding. The disciplines studied within the Department foster freedom of expression and the development of abstract concepts to material expressive form. We place importance on experimenting and generating creative, imaginative connections.

We have a playful approach to media, materials, and processes. We have mutual respect for each other’s practice and foster a creative community within the Department, Faculty, University, and city.

We aspire to be creative, innovative, and professional in everything we do.

Our Programme Leader has over 20 years of experience across a variety of architecture-related disciplines.
