Course Learning Outcomes

The entire course is studio and work-shop-based. We expect all our students to be practicing artists and therefore to possess appropriate expertise. We nevertheless do expect some demand on our workshops and on our skilled academic and technical staff. Specialists’ workshops of ceramics, screen printing, sculpture, print making, photography and multimedia arts to be organized for doctoral students to explore these techniques/mediums and refine their practice up to a highest professional level. Such needs may be met by arrangement through the course tutor.
