This is not a taught course. By using the facilities in the digital arts studio you will be able to progress with individual digital projects.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

You are expected to be able to safely and correctly operate any equipment you use in the Digital Arts Studio. An understanding of Apple Mac computers is beneficial if you would like to use the computer equipment. An understanding of using printers is essential if you would like to use the studio printers. You should be able to follow simple written and verbal instructions, hand-outs and health and safety information. You should be able to use numbers and be able to do simple measurements and calculations.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

You will be expected to work independently during Open Access. The sessions are unsupported and there is no instruction from a tutor. There is a technician on hand to ensure the studio runs efficiently.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

There is a small charge for using the in-room printers, this is to cover the cost of paper and ink. Your first few prints are free, and we only charge when you print many pages. Ask the technician during the session for further information.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?
