This diploma will provide you with the tools you need to build a compelling portfolio to apply for further study or employment in the art and design sectors.

Through an in-depth exploration of art and design techniques, and by tackling challenging assignments, you will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to solve complex problems and develop creative solutions in 2D, 3D and time-based media.

You will be introduced to key practitioners in the world of art and design to gain a deeper understanding of the creative process and hone your critical thinking skills.
