| In Collaboration with Loughborough University |
| |
| Students undertaking Loughborough programmes will experience 1 week of orientation and 6 weeks of on campus studies in Loughborough University. They will live, study and work on assigned projects in Loughborough from end of September to mid-November before returning to NAFA to complete their studies. This internationalisation attachment is equivalent to 30 credits out of a total of 120 credits within the academic year. |
| |
| This programme embodies an exciting new approach to three dimensional designs which seeks to allow students a wide variety of experience in making materials within a critical and historical framework that promotes experimental and innovative work. |
| |
| 3D Design New Practice allows flexibility to accommodate those who choose to focus on a particular specialism, whilst providing for others a more experimental approach to creative production and extended possibilities of manufacture. The course is an evolution of traditional skills experimental production, and new technologies. |

| SAC310 Consolidating Interests |
| This module contains project opportunities that address the diversity of practice within the programme. They allow students to work within a defined area of the programme or across the programmes infrastructure. They encompass a variety of processes that may produce a vast range of possible outcomes via processes previously experienced. They may be design related, domestic, commercial, or expressive of new or extended possibilities of manufacture within the programme's practice and may take advantage of cross-cultural issues and opportunities. They may be subject-specific or representative of newer interests and student motivations. |
| |
| SAC500 Art and Design Dissertation |
| This module provides students the opportunity to benefit from long term independent study, with the freedom to study an area of personal interest in some depth. When choosing a topic, students will be encouraged to consider the coherence of their programme/practice and the possibility of connections and cross-fertilisations between their research topic and the work conducted in the studio/workshop. Whilst direct relevance may e desirable for many students, it is by no means essential. |
| |
| SAC311 3D Major Project |
| Students will prepare and execute a sustained project for their final assessment presentation. This project may be in the context of a single discipline or approached through new models of research that utilise broader areas of 3D practice. It may be a new topic that exploits their practice vocabulary, or it may capitalise on coursework produced in the previous semester; continuing development through clearly defined areas of research/ development to move ideas forward to an appropriate resolution. The type of outcome is discussed with academic support during the stages of development. The exact nature of the outcome is under the students’ artistic control and they will define their own methodology in a written statement of intent. |
