Sequential studies in any one given medium offered in Theory and Methodologies in Studio Practice units constitute a major area of study. These units are structured to accelerate development in the range and depth of your creative concepts.

Each units comprises, one 1-hour lecture, one 1-hour tutorial and one 1-hour workshop per week for the duration of a semester.
