Programme Structure

Explore the year-by-year overview of the course curriculum, from foundational core courses to advanced specialisations. This is your academic journey: from learning the fundamentals to preparing for your Final Year Project.

Year 1 - Start with three academically fundamental core courses, five Interdisciplinary Collaborative Cores (ICC) for a rounded foundation and a choice of four Major Prescribed Electives (MPE) options as entry courses for each specialisation.

Year 2 - Go further in depth with your chosen specialisation with four MPEs of your choice and two compulsory MPEs as pre-requisites for your Final Year Project (FYP). There will be a compulsory core course and three ICC courses as well.

Year 3 - Two studio-based MPEs are required to build specialisation-specific skills for the FYP, while four other MPEs can be chosen from ADM’s full range of courses. You will take a core course on Research and Practice to enable research for your FYP. You will also gain real-world experience through a 22-week internship.

Year 4 - You will focus on your FYP, creating an original work that answers your own brief or research question, accompanied by a written dissertation. There will be a final core course on Strategic Thinking for Professional Practice to prepare you for a career in the creative industry following graduation.
