Graduate Diploma - Grad Dip
Summary
The Graduate Diploma Arts: Carving provides an opportunity for you to build on your existing skills and knowledge and gain the skill-set and knowledge-base required to undertake the Postgraduate Diploma or MA Carving with us. It’s ideal if you are moving from another specialist area to historic carving, changing your career path, or have had a significant gap since your previous studies, and it is equivalent to the final year of our BA (Hons) Carving (Level 6).
On the course, your learning will be supported in a number of ways through lectures, group discussion, tutorials, seminars, field trips, workshops, demonstrations and group critiques as well as individual supervision of projects. You will be encouraged and supported to develop your research and practice skills and to develop communication skills to articulate your ideas, proposals and document your work through writing, verbal presentations, and visual recording
When completed, this Graduate Diploma Arts course will equip you with the skills and confidence to pursue postgraduate study through our PgDip/MA Carving.
The Graduate Diploma Arts: Carving is delivered full-time across one academic year or part-time across two academic years. If you are not able to complete the course and need to leave after successfully completing the first unit, you may be awarded a Graduate Certificate.
The Graduate Diploma Arts: Carving is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on skills development and will give you the opportunity to gather the skills and experience necessary to complement your pre-existing skill-set, supporting you to access postgraduate level study on our MA Carving course. The second part centres around developing your portfolio, enabling you to synthesise pre-existing and newly acquired skills, knowledge and understanding
UNIT ONE – SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
Working with our specialist tutors to analyse your existing skills and knowledge and identify areas that require development, you will form an agreed study plan. Your study plan will include a range of projects from our Carving undergraduate programme combined with your specific tasks and goals. Tutorials will provide opportunities to reflect on and review your progress towards your goals. Throughout your learning programme you will maintain a Personal Development Archive, which will record and reflect upon your research findings and skills development. You will present your work as a project portfolio for assessment and your work will be assessed as equivalent to Level 6 or third year BA (Hons)
Your programme will be delivered by specialist tutors from our Carving programme and you will learn alongside students studying on the BA(Hons) Carving course. You’ll learn through a range of methods including workshops, seminars, lectures, 1 to 1 tutorials, group critiques, self-directed study and work on live projects
UNIT TWO – PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT
Following feedback and discussion of the outcomes of the assessment of the Skills Development unit, you will propose the next phase of your study plan by selecting relevant taught sessions and projects from the BA (Hons) course. Whilst being supported by regular meetings with your tutor, this unit requires you to take increasing responsibility for the direction of your work
The main focus of the unit is to enable you to develop a strong portfolio that evidences the range and depth of the knowledge and skills you have acquired and/or further developed through the course. Your project work should therefore be sufficiently ambitious to ensure that you can demonstrate the necessary depth of understanding and technical proficiency required to tackle the challenges of postgraduate study in historic carving
You will be allocated a space for the Summer Degree Show to present selected work alongside the BA (Hons) Carving students, providing valuable professional practice opportunities for you and a fitting conclusion to your work

Summary
Based on your planned and agreed proposal or statement of intent, the program is designed to reflect your individual experience and your aspirations. It is an intensive course involving you in an ambitious self-initiated carving research project. The course is intended to be primarily self-directed and to complement your individual research interests and practical experience.
The department’s focus on the wide range of skills required to become a professional carver provides a back drop to your studies with access to the teaching of advanced carving techniques, drawing, modelling, casting, portraiture, artistic anatomy, ornament study, heraldry, design, and professional skills related to project management, working as a freelance practitioner or as a member of a specialist team.
You will be encouraged to undertake commissions where relevant whilst on the course and tutors can provide help and advice on these projects that will support you to develop your professional portfolio.
All the tutors are well-established professionals who work on some of the country’s most prestigious projects alongside teaching in the department. This ensures that the course is outward looking and highly vocational, while the tutors provide a network of professional contacts that frequently supports future employment. The Department has an unusually high ratio of staff to students, ensuring that each student has the regular contact and support that the learning of carving demands.
