Please note
- There are no exchange or Study Abroad places available in the disciplines of Theatre or Film and Television
- It is preferred that studies in Photography within the Art discipline are taken only in the second semester as the studio-based training is greatly enhanced by the larger number of projects conducted in that semester.
