The purpose of the Learning ProgrammeThis programme has been approved in terms of the new Higher Education Qualifications Sub-Framework (HEQSF)Graduates exit the programme trained according to the ideals of best practice within a chosen visual arts discipline. This is synchronous with the need to achieve high levels of creative, conceptual and technical proficiency in the visual and design arts and reinforces professionalism in creative and business practice. A key tennet of the learning resides in stimulating personal growth through practicing analytical, critical, reflective and problem-solving skills. Further to this is the intent to develop the student’s world view such that there is a deeper understanding of the role the visual art and design disciplines have in influencing society. Contributing to the pool of suitably skilled, and creative, art and design graduates in South Africa in the areas of fashion and textile design, fine art, graphic design, photography and hybrid visual arts disciplines is synergistic with the importance placed on the entrepreneurial element of the programme. A significant aspect of the programme is the formal engagement to develop a culture of research within the visual and design arts that will contribute to the production of new knowledge and the growth of postgraduate studies.
