Abstract:
In 1992, I and a number of colleagues were tasked with designing and subsequently implementing a new Bachelor of Arts with Honours degree program (BA Hons) which was to build upon the strengths of our existing provision within the areas of graphic design, photography, and video production. This new program had also to fit within the College’s well established Undergraduate Modular Scheme (UMS) and was to be the first of the arts and design areas within the institution to be integrated into the modular scheme. At this time, a small group of staff, including myself, were also working with a team of architects on the design of a new Media Centre to be built to accommodate the new degree course.
This combination of circumstances presented not only a challenge, but an opportunity to re-assess the content, structure, and delivery of the media-related work offered within the institution.
