This Prospectus provides a general introduction to the School and its programmes, and every effort has been made to ensure its accuracy. But we operate in a dynamic field and our approach is subject to constant refinement and the occasional major change in response to opportunity or need, and there is much that cannot be covered on these few pages. Accordingly, we always encourage a visit to our website for the very latest on our thinking. Beyond that, if at all possible, please visit our campus. This is the very best way fully to understand what Winchester School of Art is all about. Meet our staff; meet our current student members; see our first-class facilities; experience our work, in progress, in action, on exhibition; visit the halls of residence; and ask your own particular question that we didn't think to answer here. Every year, we run five Open Afternoons especially focused on our undergraduate programmes, and two on our postgraduate programmes. Checking the date of the next event and booking yourself in is easy online; go to www.southampton.ac.uk/wsa Our Annual Degree Shows see the whole campus converted into an exhibition, bringing together the accomplishments of all our completing students. They represent the best opportunity fully to appreciate the quality of work produced across our programmes. The Undergraduate Degree Show is normally in the third week of June and the Postgraduate Degree Show the first week of September. Dates are available online. You will always be welcome to visit us at other times too. Please contact us to make an individual arrangement or to join a campus tour (at 1pm most Wednesdays when School is in session).

The best of all worlds

With 1,200 undergraduate and postgraduate students, we are an agile and adaptable institution in which the individual is cared for and never lost; and at the same time we are part of a major University, with access to the full breadth of its facilities and expertise. The city of Winchester is a convenient size, and has an independent cinema, a theatre, live music venues, a wide range of sports facilities, and good restaurants and pubs. The city centre, railway station, bus station and our halls of residence are only a ten minute walk from the campus. There is open countryside across the nature reserve and recreation grounds adjoining the campus, yet the capital is only an hour away by train, and Southampton just ten miles down the road. Following substantial new investment, our first-class equipment is to the very latest industry standard: digital video and audio recorders; photographic studios and lighting; digital printing facilities; an Appleauthorised video editing centre; screenprinting, dyeing, welding and casting ; Mimaki digital textile printing; Shima Seiki digital knitting; dedicated studios for fine art, graphic arts, fashion and textile design, with workstations throughout, and individual student spaces; a fully equipped Lectra suite for Fashion Marketing ; Mac and time-based media suites; networked data storage for all students; and our own gallery, library, students union, and art and design supplies shop. We believe we have the conditions here for an enjoyable, safe and rewarding student experience, and the ideal setting in which to build a secure creative future. John Gillett Deputy Head of School

Our programmes are modular, with core modules and choice modules each semester. The core modules are careerfocused, and include Enterprise, The Art of Marketing and Branding, and Contemporary Issues. The first year of all programmes is diagnostic and general, to determine your strengths and ensure a full grounding in the breadth of the discipline. On three of the four programmes, there is a choice of specialist pathways for the remaining two years of the programme. The exception is Fashion Marketing, which is a singlepathway programme. Group work is an intrinsic part of our learning experience; from the first year (called Level 1) where we provide a substantial support structure for peer group learning, to the third year (Level 3) in which learning and teaching strategies enable students constructively to critique their own work and that of others. Individual research in independent study time increases between Levels 1 and 3. This is designed to encourage time management and project management skills, working to deadlines, and visual and verbal presentation, to enhance employability. Assessment is continuous rather than exam-based. The final year Degree Show is the culmination of study and a showcase for achievement. We actively encourage students to gain relevant work experience whilst earning their degree. We have a growing number of work placements and exchanges - including Erasmus - to ensure the highest possible quality. Study abroad as part of a degree can add depth to learning and invaluable employability skills. The undergraduate curriculum has been designed to allow the second semester in the second year to be spent abroad. The work you do abroad will be assessed on your return and will contribute to your marks in the same way as units studied in the UK. Level 2 work includes production of a reflective journal. If you take advantage of an exchange opportunity, producing the journal will provide a chance for analysis of the experience. Winchester School of Art has agreements with institutions across the European Union, under the Erasmus scheme, and further afield, covering all of its disciplines. These links change every year; please see our website to find out more about our partner institutions and students' exchange experiences.

Fashion & Textile Design

John Hopkins
Programme Leader
The Fashion and Textile Design programme offers an exciting range of learning opportunities spanning fashion design and promotion, knitwear, woven textiles and printed textiles. The programme has a long history, but has been newly redesigned to ensure its continued relevance to the contemporary needs of the fashion and textile industries, with detailed advice from specialists within those industries, and the very latest studio production equipment. We value our strong links with industry and are proud of the employability of our graduates. During the first year of the programme a series of creative projects, workshops, seminars, lectures and study trips are designed to expand your knowledge and understanding, to provide the practical and intellectual skills that will underpin your specialist pathway choice in the second year. The choice you have is between Fashion on the one hand, which allows you to specialise in either Fashion Design or Knitwear for Fashion, and Textile Design on the other, where you can specialise in Printed Textiles or Woven Textiles.

The second year brings deeper critical engagement, through more advanced projects, which may include industrylinked projects or competitions. Second year students also have the opportunity to undertake an exchange module with one of our partner institutions in Europe, the USA or Asia. The third year consolidates specialist knowledge and skills at a more advanced level, with work to externally-set briefs or production of a self-initiated body of work, prior to completion of a final major project for presentation and exhibition to a public audience with a supporting professional portfolio. Our dedicated studios are fully equipped with a wide range of industry-standard machinery and accessories to support all our subject pathways. For fashion design, this includes an extensive range of industrial sewing machines, multi-thread overlockers for woven and knitted fabrics, professional dress stands for menswear and womenswear, as well as a fusible press and vacuum presses. Our knitwear students have access to a range of sophisticated knitting equipment including brand-new, computerised Shima
Seiki knitting machines across three gauges, as well as a variety of single and doublebed Dubied knitting machines, linkers and manual knitting machines. Students working in printed textiles have access to a variety of dedicated print studios and computer suites to facilitate the range of processes and techniques used in printing for fashion and interiors. This includes our Mimaki digital printer, as well as access to heat-transfer printing and large hand screenprinting tables with adjoining screen exposing rooms and dye labs. Our woven textiles studios are supported by a state-of-the-art jacquard loom, a variety of computerised AVL dobby looms, and manual table looms, to support a choice of weaving techniques and finishes. The programme team is drawn from leading and dedicated specialists in fashion design and promotion, knitwear, woven textiles, and printed textiles for fashion and interiors. Additional input and expertise is provided by the programme team's industry contacts as well as through distinguished visiting fellows, guest speakers and successful alumni who are invited to share their experiences with our students.
Our fashion students exhibit their work at Graduate Fashion Week in London and have enjoyed success in recent years by winning awards that include the Visionary Knitwear Award and Mulberry Accessory Award. Our textile design students have also achieved success through projects and competitions with reputable companies and organisations including the Society of Dyers and Colourists, where one of our students was the regional winner, exhibiting and selling her work at the New Designers exhibition in London.
Our graduates have achieved notable success across the fashion and textile sectors by working with companies that include Mulberry, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Liberty, Chlo, Peter Jensen, Rachel Rowberry, Kath Kidston, Cole & Sons, Idaho Design, Mud Pie, Erdem, ID magazine, Griffin Clothing, Arcadia Group, and others.
A wide range of staff, visiting lecturers and fellows contribute to the unique character of the Fashion and Textile Design Programme. Key personnel include: Deirdre Campion, Lecturer in Textile Design , trained as a designer in textile design in Ireland and set up her own printed textile design studio for interiors. She has worked as a lecturer for a number of colleges in Ireland and gained a Masters Degree in Design History from the Royal College of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum. She has a breadth of commercial experience with established high end furnishing brands including Colefax and Fowler and Jane Churchill, where she worked as the Design Director. Robert Cary-Williams, Teaching Fellow in Fashion, produced his acclaimed first show at London's Caf de Paris and received the Marks and Spencer New Generation award for his innovative designs. He has sold to over 100 top-end stores worldwide, including Harrods in London and stores in Japan, France, Dubai, Hong Kong, USA and Australia. He has worked with various clients and celebrities to promote his brand including Burberry, Marianne Faithful and Marks and Spencer. The utilitarian feel of his clothes and his military signature style reflect a period of military service, while the use of organic materials suggest his farming background. David Stirling Frizzell, Teaching Fellow in Fashion, is best known for his innovative and commercial design work for the Stephen Marks Group, French Connection, Nicole Farhi, and All Saints clothing, where he lead the men's design team. More recently he has worked at Cacharel, modernizing their men's and boys' lines. His in-depth technical knowledge of clothing design commands great respect, and his precision cutting and tailoring skills have enabled him to work freelance over the last 12 years for clients including Joe Caseley-Hayford, UTH, and womenswear label Eley Kishimoto. This year he has sold work to Calvin Klein womenswear. Jaana Jtyri, Visiting Fellow, launched Trendstop Ltd in 2004. Trendstop.com is a fashion trend analysis tool for fashion professionals, with over 1,000 clients, including retailers, major brands, celebrities, production companies, ad agencies, journalists and PR professionals, from Hewlett Packard to Courtney Love. After graduation Jaana set up a company to train clients like Marks & Spencer and River Island in digital fashion skills. Jaana spotted a gap in the market for ready-made CAD shapes: she designed software for basic blocks and trend focused shapes. Working with designers at major retailers led her to trend forecasting as a natural progression. William Lana, Visiting Fellow, co-founded the organic textile company Greenfibres in 1996. Greenfibres is a member of the Organic Trade Association, the Organic Fiber Council, the International Association for Natural Textiles, the Ethical & Environmental Marketing Group and the Organic Trade Group. William has helped to develop the UK organic textile industry by his talks at conferences and providing advice and guidance to a range of companies. Peter Jensen, Visiting Fellow, has a reputation for impeccably produced creations that thread together mischievous humour and a celebratory approach to individuality, with an impressive attention to detail and lightness of touch, apparent in his designs for both men and women. The London-based Danish designer has regularly embarked on collaborative projects, with a variety of iconic or cult international retailers and brands including Topshop, Topman, Fred Perry, Ebonyivory, Falbe, Buddahood, plus the award-winning B-Store.

I really enjoyed my time at Winchester School of Art, especially putting together my collection in the third year. I would definitely recommend the Fashion programme, as the studio space and technical support are second to none. Looking back at my work from the first year I can see a vast improvement in technique and skill which is thanks to the dedicated fashion tutors and technicians. I came second in the international competition, 4CF, judged by Peter Jensen, Sophia Malig and Robert Cary Williams, and I won the Mulberry accessories award at Graduate Fashion Week, which resulted in a placement with them.

BA (Hons)
Fashion Marketing
This programme offers an exciting range of learning and career opportunities at the interface between fashion and marketing. Applicants for the programme need not submit a portfolio. Fashion brands demand managers able to connect with and appreciate the best creative designers, whilst engaging with management professionals and clients. Winchester School of Art has a long tradition and an envied reputation for the study of fashion and textile design, and has delivered rigorous and industry-facing postgraduate courses in management for a number of years. The Fashion Marketing degree brings these strengths together in an innovative new programme. The fashions which this programme primarily focuses on are apparel, fashion accessories, and fragrances, though the principles of what makes something fashionable can be applied to a vast array of products and services in many industries. For example, consider the extent to which fashion has added value to the Apple brand and contributed to its success. Our research base allows us to focus on the worlds of luxury fashion brands and the growing importance of environmental sustainability and its impact on fashion businesses, and on the products, services and experiences they offer. Dr. Yuanyuan Yin
Dr. Yuanyuan Yin, Lecturer in Brand Management and Deputy Programme Leader, Arts and Design Management, previously taught Design Management including Brand Management, Design Strategy, Design Research and Product Design in the School of Engineering and Design at Brunel University. Her research focuses on integrating design and market trends and promoting business performance through developing brand strategies and supporting design collaboration.
26
The programme is designed for students who wish to study a combination of design and management subjects within the highly creative and energetic environment of a leading school of art. This context promotes understanding of fashion and marketing theory and a critical appreciation of visual communications. The programme balances the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to succeed in Fashion Marketing roles from small emergent fashion enterprises through to complex, international based fashion brands. During the first year students are encouraged to explore the subject areas of fashion and the core principles of marketing through a series of creative projects, workshops, seminars, lectures and study trips. These are designed to expand knowledge and understanding in acquiring the fundamental practical and intellectual skills that will underpin the second year. Fashion marketing students are supported with a dedicated IT suite and computer software to support their needs as well as institutional subscriptions to specialist Fashion trend and forecasting services. During the second year, students develop their understanding of fashion marketing by covering areas in fashion brand development and brand design issues, product development and range planning, fashion retailing, merchandising and fashion buying, experiential marketing in fashion, the impact of technological developments upon fashion marketing, luxury and lifestyle offerings, fashion communications, promotions, press and public relations, fashion consumer psychology, 'fast' and 'slow' fashion movements, ethical and sustainability issues in fashion, quantitative
and qualitative fashion research and forecasting. Second year students also have the opportunity to undertake an exchange module with one of our partner institutions in Europe, the USA or Asia. The third year allows students to develop their knowledge and skills at a more advanced level. They explore notions of aesthetics and taste, heritage and craftsmanship, the phenomena of celebrity and co-branding, the massive changes occurring in marketing communications and communications technology, the business challenges of global expansion and brand awareness in a troubled global financial climate. They develop a critical understanding of the knowledge and skills needed to create and develop successful fashion brands. They also work in teams to externally-set marketing briefs to complete a final major project for presentation to an academic and professional team. In the same manner as artists and designers in the School, you will be able to build a personal portfolio. Such a portfolio can reflect your intellectual and skill development over the course of the degree. It will present in visual and written forms your case studies, business reports, essays, reflective journals and a final major project.
27
The programme team is drawn from academics with strong industry backgrounds and contacts, who are passionate about their subjects. Their specialisms cover fashion design, knitwear, woven textiles and printed textiles, fashion management, design management, advertising management, brand management, marketing and consumer research and management research. Additional input and expertise is provided by the programme team's industry contacts as well as through distinguished visiting fellows, guest speakers and successful
alumni who are invited to share their experiences with our students. We have a well developed careers and employability agenda designed to nurture crucial employability skills and offer careers advice throughout the programme. Our graduates have achieved notable success across the fashion and textile sectors by working with companies that include Mulberry, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Liberty, Chloe, Peter Jensen, and others.

BA (Hons)
Fine Art
Nick Stewart
Programme Leader
As artists we relish the opportunity to grow, develop and change. We actively seek new experience and the opportunity to extend our knowledge and skills. We conjure value through our imaginative engagement with the world and we see the possibilities and poetry in making new relationships between images and objects, people, places and information. Our Fine Art programme reflects the excitement and optimism of these possibilities. It is a programme of innovative study, broad-based and inclusive, encompassing all aspects of contemporary art, theory and practice, and offering a thorough preparation for life as a professional artist and for employment opportunities in the art world and beyond. Working alongside students from across the world, you will study in an environment that is internationally recognized as a centre of excellence for art and design research and professional practice, and you will engage with the today's leading artists, critics and curators.
Alex Schady
Nick Stewart, Programme Leader and Reader in Fine Art, has created a diverse body of exhibitions and publications in drawing, performance, video, photography and text. A range of interests and research informs his work but the question of place and national identity in the context of Ireland is of particular concern to him. In 2007 he published the book, 'no-one's not from everywhere', the culmination of several years of research into Irish artists and their views on Irish identity. His new project, The Museum of The Border, extends this research into a wider constituency. Alex Schady, Deputy Programme Leader, is an artist and filmmaker with a broad interdisciplinary practice. His work uses materials immediately to hand, incorporating modern-life ephemera that is manipulated and re-interpreted across a variety of media. Combining craft techniques and digital processes his most recent work uses the language of science fiction to explore the psyche of contemporary culture. He is co-founder of an artist-run gallery space, Five Years, which enables artists to develop links between the production and curation of visual art, and to explore the processes and discourses of exhibiting.

Fine Art on our programme begins with ideas. Artists are natural researchers who engage wholeheartedly with their subjects. At Winchester School of Art you will belong to one of the top universities in the UK where award-winning research is a key part of the university's identity. Your experience will be supported by world-class learning facilities and unrivalled access to a whole range of other university disciplines. We are committed to artistic innovation and intellectual rigour. Experimentation in the widest possible range of materials and media is encouraged and supported. Technical support in extensive workshop facilities enables students to realise their ambitions across a broad range of making skills: 2D, 3D and 4D. Our staff bring extensive experience of art practice and the art world to the development of your creative identity through painting, sculpture, photography, video, print making, installation and performance art, new media and web based projects. You will have the opportunity to develop in-depth skills in your chosen medium. Individual and group
tutorials, visiting artist lectures and diverse opportunities to exhibit your work develop your professional understanding and confidence. The programme includes weekly open lectures from visiting artists, Talking Heads, presented by major figures from contemporary art. The most recent contributors include Brian Catling, Amikam Toren, Siobhan Hapaska, Dan Hays and Simon Morley. In your first semester at Winchester School of Art you will be introduced to the many possible directions for your work through an integrated programme of projects, workshops and lectures. The emphasis is on getting settled and experiencing new ideas and skills through a range of projects that combine playful experimentation with critical reflection. You will work closely with one of four tutors dedicated to the first year programme. There will be organised trips to exhibitions and other cultural events in London, and the semester will culminate in an optional international study trip to either Berlin, Paris, Madrid or Prague.
34
In semester two you will be given more time to initiate and direct your own practice and research, choosing from a range of specialist workshops in painting, sculpture, photography, video, printmaking or digital media. The second year is a time to initiate ambitious ideas. The Exhibition Theory and Practice module provides a framework for these ideas to reach fruition in exhibitions, group and solo, in both semesters. You will determine the direction of your work and find your voice, whether in a specialist medium or through interdisciplinary practice. You will also receive tutorial support to begin your Reflective Journal,
which you will continue to develop through to the degree show in your final year. This journal will chart the growth of your knowledge and understanding, both of your personal practice and of the wider Fine Art context. In your third year you will consolidate your practice in preparation for the Final Major Project in semester 2, the opportunity through the presentation of an exhibition, a screening or an event, to demonstrate your ambition and realise your ideas at a fully professional level.
A wide range of staff, visiting lecturers and fellows contribute to the unique character of the Fine Art Programme. Key personnel include: Alan Boldon, Visiting Fellow, is currently Head of Research and Development at Arnolfini, in Bristol. He has more than twenty years experience working on interdisciplinary projects as an artist, curator and project manager. For 12 years he directed an international arts summer school devoted to exploring interdisciplinary engagement with place. Declan McGonagle, Visiting Fellow, is Director of the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and Ireland's most successful curator. In the 1980s he was the Director of the Orchard Gallery in Derry, Ireland. During his tenure there the gallery became an international success, hosting major artists from around the world and publishing a wide range of books and catalogues. He was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 1987. In the early 1990s he was Director of the ICA in London and later the first Director of the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin. Simon Morley, Teaching Fellow, is an artist motivated by an interest in renewing the language of painting through dislocations between media. In previous exhibitions he has broken text up into letter-fragments and made facsimile paintings of books. In working now with video and DVD packaging he is opening up his work to the image, incorporating not only text but also the pictures found on the packaging cases. He is interested in the way in which word and image interact and modify the ways we employ and understand different sign-systems. He has recently exhibited in London, Tokyo, Amsterdam and Bologna. He is also an established theorist and the author of The Writing On The Wall: Word and Image in Modern Art (Thames & Hudson 2003/7). Mona Hatoum, Visiting Fellow, is amongst the most celebrated of international contemporary artists. Born in the Lebanon, she was exiled to London, where she has lived and worked since the mid 1970s and where, in 1995, she was nominated for the Turner Prize. Through performance, video, sculpture and installation she creates architectonic spaces which relate to the body, language and the condition of exile. Such works combine states of emotion and longing with the formal simplicity of Minimalism, creating powerful evocations of displacement, denial and otherness. Bryan Biggs, Visiting Fellow, is an artist and curator, and Artistic Director of the Bluecoat, Liverpool's contemporary arts centre, overseeing a programme of visual, performing and live art. He has been guest curator of a number of major exhibitions including New Contemporaries, and was curator for the Liverpool Biennial International in 2002 and 2008, and set up its live art programme, Liverpool Live. In 2006 he curated an exhibition from Liverpool, Walk On, for the Shanghai Biennale. As well as editing and writing for many publications, he maintains his own visual art practice, predominantly drawing. He was awarded an MBE in 1996 in recognition of his contribution to the arts on Merseyside. Alnoor Mithas, Visiting Fellow, is an artist and curator, and the founding Director of Shisha, the international agency for contemporary South Asian crafts and visual arts, and a vehicle of exchange and dialogue between cultures. He has worked as a curator at a number of contemporary art venues, curated numerous international exhibitions in the UK, and in 2008 led the establishment of the Asian Art Triennial in Manchester.

Winchester School of Art provides the ideal environment for creative risk-taking, with plenty of opportunities for students to get involved in shaping the learning experience and setting in motion their own initiatives. Over the past three years my work has changed dramatically in its level of critical engagement and ambition, mainly due to the support and enthusiasm of staff who seek to encourage the development of students' own research interests, rather than promoting an established house style. Placing experimental thinking above safe, tried-and-tested solutions makes Winchester an exciting, forward-thinking place to study, without the impersonal factory approach you find elsewhere.

BA (Hons)
Graphic Arts
The Graphic Arts programme encompasses Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography, and Motion Graphics. The programme recognises the global influence of design, and aims to develop confident, independent professionals who will become the shapers of a shifting creative landscape, across a range of industries. Ed D'Souza
Programme Leader
The programme is studio-based, has timetabled teaching, and an emphasis on experimentation and individual innovation, questioning the contexts and forms of contemporary communication. Students have their own workspace within a flexible, mixed-specialism base studio, fully equipped with wi-fi, Macintosh work stations, and meeting and production areas. A range of resources - computing, photography, digital printing and timebased media - are available school-wide and complement the facilities within the studio. In addition, students can take advantage of significant subsidies to acquire their own professional tools, such as Apple laptops and digital SLR cameras to extend their studio and professional practice. Studio practice is underpinned by introductions to design history and theory, and engagement with current ideas and issues. You will have the opportunity to build a wide-ranging, professional portfolio to showcase your work and prepare you for a creative career.
Tim Metcalf
Ed D'Souza, Programme Leader for the BA (Hons) Graphic Arts programme and Pathway leader for Communication Design, has established research interests in the cross-cultural interactions and of visual art, cultural study and social science focused on India's relationship with the West. Over the last seventeen years via field work in India he has been documenting economic, political and social change, and questioning the mythologizing of Indian identity by considering wider ideas of the interchange and tensions between identity, location and context. He has worked professionally for major national and international clients spanning the areas of creative consultancy, advertising, publishing, corporate identity and editorial design. Tim Metcalf, Deputy Programme Leader for the BA (Hons) Graphic Arts programme, works commercially as a designer with a wide range of clients and projects including Universal Music, Warner Music, Momentum Pictures, MTV, L'Oreal and Harrods. In 2003 he launched his own design practice, Moth-Eaten, setting up a studio in London's W1 focusing on print design for established clients, as well as developing his own non-commercial work through exhibition and publishing initiatives.

The first year of the programme takes a broad-based approach, with tuition across the full range of graphic arts disciplines. Students share a series of exciting key projects, workshops and creative activities which introduce the major themes of the subject. The climax of the first year is a publishing project in which each student produces their own hand-bound book. At Level 2, supported by specialist staff and specialist projects and workshops, you develop a sense of professional direction and shape your ambitions, choosing to follow one of the four discipline-specific pathways. The Graphic Design pathway addresses a well-established industry in which new media are constantly extending the horizons. It offers access to the full range of essential professional communication skills: control of word and image; digital imaging and design for print, including magazine

Winchester was a great place to study; the School of Art was ideal as a campus, being close enough to London for all the galleries, events, and private views, but also situated within relaxed, quiet surroundings, which I found perfect for creativity. There was always a great atmosphere and work ethic within the studio, the result of the exceptional staff who run the course, know the creative industries, and are very aware of preparing students for careers in them. I believe that the teaching staff, design and structure of the course, facilities and the amount of contact time as a student you have with staff makes the course stand out. The course recently ran an exhibition in Brick Lane in London, which was great to be part of, and I've also exhibited at the D&AD New Blood. While studying, I did some work for YCN and the advertising company VCCP, and since graduating I've moved up to London and worked for ELLE Magazine photographing Reading Festival, as well as being part of a creative writing workshop run by Charlie Dark at Nike 1948.

On this pathway you will learn how advertising is created from the advertising pitch, through to target audience identification and segmentation, the creative strategy, creative briefing, the appraisal of creative ideas, and campaign evaluation. You will build a critical awareness of the advertising industry and the challenges it faces today, and build an understanding of how other communications tools work. Design Management Design at its essence connects creativity and innovation. Excellence in design gives companies the means to gain competitive advantage by creating attractive propositions for more demanding customers. Managing the generation and successful exploitation of new ideas is crucial for all companies. This pathway is aimed at individuals eager to develop a career in Design Management that is relevant to a wide sector of service and manufacturing industries. You will be encouraged to develop original and creative ideas that will allow you to negotiate and co-create with designers, marketers, financiers, lawyers, and clients in the pursuit of the best design thinking. Fashion and Textile Marketing Rapid advances in communication and digital technologies have changed the very nature of how we view the worlds of textiles, fashion and art. The impacts of these technologies are changing the ways that consumers experience fashion and how marketers communicate with consumers and create satisfying experiences. In comparison to Fashion Management this pathway develops a more focused view of the professional buyer and consumer. The impacts of globalisation, fast fashion and sustainability are key issues that impact upon on the highly discerning fashion and textile consumer.

MA Fine Art
Nick Stewart
Programme Leader
The MA Fine Art encompasses the full diversity of contemporary art, in a clear critical context. We facilitate work in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, installation, photography, video, web, temporary site-specific or time-based work and performance art. Contemporary art practice is increasingly interdisciplinary and many artists work both independently and collaboratively at the boundaries of their disciplines. Projects may involve either a specialist pursuit of a single medium or a broader, multi-disciplinary approach that draws on the skills and opportunities provided by our academic and technical staff and facilities. We will encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities for collaboration with other schools within one of the leading research universities in the UK. Core choice modules in Entrepreneurship, Marketing & Branding and Contemporary Issues are included in the programme to support the development of your practice. Professional development is an integral part of the course and is facilitated by the range of artists and art world professionals who visit the School.

Research
Our research encompasses fine art, graphic arts, fashion and textile design, marketing, branding, management, and contemporary art curatorship, and our researchers disseminate creative practice in all these fields through international publications and exhibitions.
John Gillett Director of Research
Our continuing investigation of the art and design object, through experimentation with materials and processes, and interactions between traditional, material-based disciplines and time-based and digital media, is matched by an emphasis on ideas: socio-political, geopolitical, and post-colonial subjects; issues of identity; narratives of place and migration; and marketing research and consumer insight. We are committed to ensuring that the application of creativity in our work addresses problems of pressing societal concern in a meaningful and practical way. We are interested in issues like global security, energy and environmental change, ageing populations, health, and the impact of new technologies. Such interests are leading our studies in many new directions, into areas as diverse as the branding of nations and sustainability in the design of high street fashion or luxury goods. As part of a world-class, research-led University, we are able to pursue collaborations with specialists in many other disciplines. As visual practitioners, we seek to promote understanding of the challenges of today, to make a real contribution to imaginative solutions, and to communicate them to others.

At the Students' Union our aim is to find out what we can offer you, but it is also about what you can offer us and other students, by getting involved. You can do this by becoming a Course Rep, joining one of over 200 societies or clubs, or even just turning up at Freshers' Week. There is always a broad and exciting events calendar at the Students' Union - you name it, we'll do it! Plus, it's a great way to meet new people, and make use of the exciting opportunities for fun on offer.

Mature Students
We welcome a large number of mature students to our programmes. Mature students bring valuable life and work experiences and make an important contribution to the School. Entry requirements vary as we take into account each candidate's work experience and broader skills. We appreciate that mature students may have to balance other commitments along with their studies, and make every effort to accommodate this. Mature students residing in the UK will be expected to attend an on-campus portfolio interview. We understand that you may not have work that is structured in the same way as A Level or Foundation students. We are however still interested in seeing self-directed work, including sketchbooks and finished pieces as part of the portfolio.

University of Southampton 2009 This prospectus is prepared well in advance of the academic year to which it relates and the University offers the information contained in it as a guide only. While the University makes every effort to check the accuracy of the factual content at the time of drafting, some changes will inevitably have occurred in the interval between publication and start of the relevant academic year. You should not therefore rely solely on this brochure and should contact Winchester School of Art for up-to-date information concerning course fees, course content and entry requirements for the current academic year. You should also consult the University's prospectus or go to www.soton.ac.uk/inf/ termsandconditions.html for more specific details of the limits of the University's liability in the event of changes to advertised courses/programmes and related information.
