MA Digital and Visual Communications

Our students have worked hard over the past two years to create work that is on display during the MA Show.

The Covid Pandemic resulted in students having limited access to on-site resources and restricted provision of face to face teaching. Despite these extraordinary pressures our students have worked extremely hard to produce an impressive body of work. During this time staff rose to the challenge of delivering engaging course content and support that could be safely provided remotely using innovative methods that took advantage of digital technology.

MA Digital and Visual Communications offers an exciting combination of theory and practice. The course attracts students from a variety of specialist backgrounds promoting a stimulating environment where students are encouraged to research, experiment and push the boundaries of their practice.

Students are encouraged to develop a distinctive independent creative approach that helps to ensure their work stands out in the contemporary media marketplace. Our current cohort have created a diverse body of engaging and thought-provoking work. They have gained the intellectual and creative confidence to effectively engage with the competitive creative industries and through the investigation of a negotiated major project they have had the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge, culminating in this showcase exhibition at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

Thanks to our students for their drive and determination during these testing times, we wish them every success in their future careers.

Wolverhampton School of Art Graduate Showcase 2021

We are delighted to announce our end of year graduate showcase highlighting the work of our final year students in Art, Design and Screen based subjects.

Over the last few weeks we have had a film crew on site in the School of Art recording student experiences and their work. The last year, has undoubtedly been a huge challenge to students and staff in the School of Art. We have found ourselves working at home in make-shift spaces and often with limited materials and kit. Our staff and students have been hugely inventive in finding opportunities and outlets to keep learning live  - and this, in itself, is a testament to our creativity and resilience as a sector.
