A historically rich subject, we encourage reflection on the traditional and historic applications of Jewellery & Silversmithing in developing, in our students, a strong sense of professional and creative positioning within the field. Reflecting upon the rich skills and history of making that the subject areas have fostered, our students are encouraged to develop and define their own creative practice from a contemporary perspective. This can be informed from a personal narrative or take a broader more commercial position.

Exploring and developing sustainable processes of designing and making are key to our teaching philosophy. Our students are encouraged to identify relevant source material and through investigative drawing, modelling and testing in the workshop, to produce highly resolved project outcomes.
 
Our international student body contributes to the diverse cultural tapestry within the department. The language of Jewellery & Silversmithing is international and we encourage a global outlook examining traditions of culture at home and abroad.
