The department’s aim is to equip students with the essential inner belief, practical ability, and confidence, based upon knowledge, to continue their career in sculpture. We consciously select students who will represent the wide range of sculpture activity as it exists in the world outside, but who share the same philosophy. Some are recent graduates and some at later points in their career. Their common characteristic is that they have already formed the beginnings of a work identity. They want to pursue this, build on it, evolve it, and help it reach a point of higher achievement. Our aim is to help this happen.
