This course will enable masters’ students to undertake a specialised skills development workshop offered in the relevant undergraduate program. Students may undertake this course with the approval of their program manager after consultation and academic advice. The course may be undertaken if both the student and program manager identify a skills gap that is relevant to the student’s studio project that can be addressed by undertaking a workshop offered in an undergraduate program as a vertically integrated studio course.

Details


Program Manager approval (and supervisor approval, if you have one) is required to enrol in this course, and additional conditions and practicalities need to be considered, so enrolments are not automatically open. Please contact your supervisor and program manager to start the conversation.

Following is an overview of the process for this course:

  • Workshop information is usually released much later than information about other Option courses, we can’t control this timeline differently. You may want to enrol in your second-choice Option course, so not to lose a space there, and drop this course if you are successful in enrolling in Studio Skills Specialisation.
  • We will alert the student body when Workshops have been announced/updated.
  • When workshops are announced, you need to check if there are any courses you feel would benefit your practical skills, specifically related to your developing Masters studio work/project. To be eligible to enrol, you need to ensure that a workshop is relevant to your particular practice and needs. These workshops are not designed to simply try out new media or techniques that are unrelated, or only tangentially-related, to your Masters project.
  • Next, check if the course timetabling makes it possible for you to enrol, or if there will be a clash. If there is a clash, please consult with your program manager. Because these are undergraduate workshops, timing may not always work out.
  • Next, if you have a supervisor, ask them if they think the Workshop you are interested would support your technical skills and your developing Masters project.
  • Then contact your program manager to register your interest.
  • If everyone agrees to progress, your program manager will inquire if it is possible for you to enrol in the course. Enrolment permission is then subject to a number of conditions and practicalities outside our control, and can’t be assured.
  • If we receive permission for you to enrol, you will be contacted with instructions on how to enrol.
  • Again, to start a conversation about this course, please contact your program manager and supervisor.
  • You can only enrol in 1 Studio Skills Specialisation course during your Masters program.
  • Preferencing processes listed on the undergraduate pages are not relevant for Masters students, please follow the process above.
  • Fine Art – Workshops
  • Photography – Photographic Lighting
  • Photography – Photographic Fine Print
