Overview

The Graduate Diploma in Art and Design at the Cambridge School of Visual & Performing Arts (CSVPA) is also suitable for anyone wishing to: develop new skills; establish fresh perspectives for understanding and producing contemporary Art & Design practice; for anyone desiring to overhaul an existing creative portfolio, with a view to further study at Master’s level, or with a view to investing in their creative and/or professional development.

Key facts

This programme is designed to help you develop the skills and perspectives required for future success at the Master’s level, and to bridge the gap between your existing ability/experience and the ambition to study within a postgraduate context, either at CSVPA or elsewhere.

Emphasis is placed on encouraging you to become an independent creative practitioner, who is both critically informed and professionally aware; who understands both historical and contemporary contexts for Art and Design; and who is able to operate with confidence within an English-speaking educational environment.
