Program Description
This unique learning experience at Aberystwyth University allows students to follow a self-selected pathway through and across four creative disciplines simultaneously; Fine Art, Creative Writing, Theatre, Performance and Scenography, and Film & Television, students will select a range of modules from each discipline which will include 1 cultural contexts module during the three years. As well as a self selected suite of module options they will follow the suite of interdisciplinary core modules; Interdisciplinary Practice 1 - 6. In these modules students will work together as a group through a series of weekly practice and process based workshops towards a collective student led outcome. Students will also conceive and develop a series of independent self – directed interdisciplinary research and practice projects contributing to a portfolio of 6 projects developed over the 3 year course. They will have the opportunity to exhibit 6 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 site-specific intervention projects in and around the centre in one of the UK’s largest Arts Centre’s and ‘national flagship for the arts’ with over 70,000 visitors a year. Students will develop key skills in professional practice through the group workshops, self-directed practice, the event managing opportunities open to the third year and the public exhibitions, giving students the skills needed to move directly into the creative industry.
