This degree combines rigorous foundation in traditional art and design studio disciplines, and innovative development in new media that incorporates contemporary art, design and media studies with an emphasis on studio practice in a specifics discipline balanced with scholarship in cultural and historical studies. Thus, while the degree retains canonical core elements of an art and design programme, it also reflects a breadth of interests that is relevant both regionally and globally and embraces many of the key areas that comprise contemporary art, design and media studies.
