No, the online course is run completely remotely, and does not require any attendance to complete the course. Most online students do attend the preparation for the final show, and the private view.
How does the online course work?
The online course is a ‘by project’ course. This is the same as the face to face course.
There are weekly chat sessions, that last for 2 hours and are run in the same time slot for the whole year. this is typically 1.30 - 3.30 British time.
As well as this chat session, we aim to webcast + record seminars, lectures and group events. Inter mode collaboration is encouraged.
How does the face to face course work?
There are weekly meetings with staff, visiting tutors, and MA framework lectures. Group crits and group/individual tutorials form a regular part of the course.
The studio offers computer and internet access as well as all the major software packages for video to web. We also use Open Source software such as Pure Data.
