Education modules cover curriculum planning, studio teaching, assessment, classroom management, instructional resources and supervised teaching practice.
Career prospects

Other paths include artist, illustrator, graphic designer, textile or ceramic designer, art administrator, museum or gallery educator, creative entrepreneur and arts facilitator for cultural organisations and NGOs.
Who this programme may suit
You thrive if you are imaginative, observant and comfortable expressing ideas through images, materials and design. Persistence, openness to critique and the ability to encourage creativity in others are especially useful.
