Based on this form and the sample, a number of students will be invited to attend the qualifying module. This will involve a week of intensive workshops and teaching, followed by two weeks of home study time, after which students will need to submit a portfolio of their work. This portfolio will then be assessed and successful applicants admitted to the rest of the course. For those students who proceed to the diploma course, this module will contribute 12 units to the overall degree.
