Prague College

 

This section is currently under preparation, please come back later for more reports covering external examiners reports from all our HND, BA (Hons) and MSc programmes across the years. 

 

Excerpts from the 2011 BA (Hons) Graphic Design external examiner’s report:

 

“The presentation of work for assessment and for the Degree Show was

undertaken professionally and it looked superb! This high standard has

continued from last year and the work exhibited in a contemporary

design gallery which could not be better for Graphic Designers. The

students were again involved with a considerable amount of the

planning and organisation of the show again, even down to making and

presenting the amazing food and cakes for the private view….

 

…It was also interesting to note that the Research Centre at Prague

College is having a positive influence on courses within the College.

Research interpreted effectively into a practice based outcome is

often quite rare, and especially when it is applied in visual

communication projects. A student from this cohort had become

interested in one of the Centres research themes of Pattern Theory and

Design. She successfully interpreted complex mathematical pattern

concepts and ideas in nature, translating these into a well designed,

clearly articulated and beautifully illustrated children’s book. The

work was bordering on MA level work! It was good also to note that

tutors from other subject areas including those involved in research,

are able to teach and have some input into the course.”

 

 

Excerpts from the 2010 BA (Hons) Graphic Design external examiner’s report:

 

“Students were enthusiastic and professional when talking about their

work, and evidence of a very good team ethos within this cohort of

students and enhanced by the recruitment of students from a number of

different countries giving the course a strong international identity…

 

…The majority of the students that I spoke to were very enterprising

with a small number already running their own businesses, others had

jobs or were about to apply, some had achieved places on MA courses

and one student offered a place in the USA at Rhode Island School of Art.”
