Jewellery and Silversmithing - MA

at London Metropolitan University

The School maintains a portfolio of alternative core MA (level 7) 20 credit modules, two of which will be core to this course. Prior to the start of the course each September, the course team will decide which of the alternative core modules will be the core 20 credit modules for the following academic cycle. This decision is based on the range of project opportunities arising and the balance of students across the portfolio of MA design courses. Please note, students do not choose which of the alternative core modules to take themselves. See the modular structure section below for more details.
