About The Course |
The programme is designed to provide an opportunity to school leavers in possession
of the School Leaving Certificate to follow a structured programme of study in that
area which is closer to their interests. The programme includes a significant amount
of vocational practice that will help students to form a clear idea of the nature
of the trade or vocation they intend to follow. Assessment of each unit in this
qualification is mainly through a system of continuous assessment and tests.
This course is intended to provide a broad education in Art and Design as a basis
for further training. Students will be encouraged to build a portfolio of work which
is a necessary requirement for progression to the BTEC First Diploma in Art and
Design or the First Diploma in Printing. Students will also attend lessons in English,
Mathematics and Maltese on a regular basis throughout the course.
Students who apply to join a Vocational Foundation Course at level 2 shall be required
to pass MCAST tests in Maltese, English and Mathematics. Following these tests,
MCAST shall draw up a list of those who are found to require significant help in
their studies. These learners will stand to benefit by joining the Foundation Course
at Vocational Level 1 instead. This is a one-year course which should help them
to progress to the Foundation Course at level 2 the following year.

About The Course |
Craftspersons and designer-makers often produce handmade objects for direct retail
outlets. Some artisans work alone and set up small workshops. Today there are a
number of organizations and professional bodies giving advice for such start-ups.
Advice must be sought as it will be difficult for a small business to survive without
this support.
Students in possession of this qualification may find employment in the following
areas: ceramics/craft pottery, stone carving/sculpture, woodcarving, craft objects
in metal, jewellery in precious metals, thread crafts, silversmithing.
Successful students participating in the Apprenticeship Scheme may apply for the
Journeyman’s Certificate at Craft level or its equivalent.

About The Course |
The Diploma in the Creative Arts provides a broadbased curriculum, giving students
the opportunity to explore a wide range of disciplines related to the creative fields.
Students following this course will normally have a strong inclination towards the
creative disciplines, but will usually possess little or no prior training in the
field. Thus, through this programme students will be able to develop the skills,
knowledge and understanding to prepare them for entry into higher level courses
in the creative fields, such as the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design and the
Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production.

About The Course |
The programme aims to widen participation in higher education by providing progression
opportunities for HND achievers to gain a BA (Hons) Degree in Graphic Design and
Interactive Media. Students will be supported and encouraged to develop a specialist
focus and application for their work through the provision of a curriculum that
encourages critical and analytical skills and the knowledge to challenge design
conventions and ideology. Knowledge of Graphic Design and Interactive Media will
be sharpened through the provision of a highly contextualised curriculum model that
draws on contemporary design practice together with relevant historical, theoretical
and cultural material. The course fosters independent learning and develops learners’
ability to apply, consolidate and extend their learning in different contextual
frameworks and situations, both within and beyond the field of Graphic Design. Integrated
into the students’ experience is a negotiated major project and advanced development
of theoretical and contextual knowledge. This combination provides a strong vocational
focus. The course includes a wide variety of assessment methods including design
projects, presentations, practical projects and written work. The assessment is
continuous throughout the course.

About The Course |
This course is concerned with contemporary art and the practice, history and theories
that inform it. It approaches the study and practice of art in an enquiring, investigative,
experimental and research-minded way, consciously contributing to the lively discourses
of contemporary art, nationally and internationally. The majority of the course
content is studio-based and students develop their own work with tutorial and technical
assistance according to their individual needs. A degree in an area of visual arts
prepares you to enter a variety of related fields. Fine artists typically work independently,
specializing in one or two art forms. Your future could include painting, sculpting,
printmaking, and illustration.
