The MA Creative Practice uses practical, portfolio-based assessment rather than traditional dissertations.
Assessment Methods
Creative projects and portfolios — your actual creative work
Production diaries — documenting your process and research
Reflective journals — critical reflection on your practice
Prototypes — demonstrating experimentation and iteration
Research projects — combining research, practical work, and evaluation
Interview — discussing your creative process (Major Project only)
No Dissertations
Your graduation project is about making art that speaks for itself. You're assessed on creative projects, reflective diaries, and portfolios — the real substance of your creative practice.
Experience Counts
The programme values your creative skills and experience, not just academic credentials. Your portfolio speaks louder than grades or test scores.
