The Advanced Diploma of Creative Product Development provides students with the opportunity to extend their knowledge gained at a previous diploma level qualification in the creative arts, design or photography fields. It is an extension of the knowledge and skills already acquired in the chosen creative discipline and builds on these in line with industry practice.

The course has three main components – Business, Theory and Studio Practice. Students are encouraged to set individual projects that reflect industry expectations. The individual projects may include a visual artist working towards an exhibition or a body of work, or an illustrator producing a series of gift cards and stationary items or illustrations for a childrens book. The studio practice is supported by sound theory and business skills, and underpinned with the notion of sustainable art, design and photography practice.

This course is unique in that students are encouraged to set their own projects based on their specific area of creative expertise. The study environment will reflect an artist studio practice to enable graduates to make a smooth transition into industry, freelance or self-employment.
