Mentoring project development in the arts
Students develop and condense personally formulated topics as part of the Mentored project development in the arts module in consultation with a mentor. The focus is on those areas that are relevant to the professional practice of individual participants, and are not covered by a regular CAS course. Participants bring their own project outline to the module, complete with a written proposal for a topic for a project, an installation or a product; or they submit a description of a professional topic that would be expanded through mentoring. This relates to their own professional practice, and is specifically relevant to them.
Target audience
Anyone who has already completed their first degree in art, design, performance or art education and would like to consolidate and expand their knowledge and skills for the world of work. It may also interest people who wish to study art and design strategies in relation to their previous employment.
