Summer Project
Happy Trash
Paul Westcomb Jane Foster
Project Aim
To get to know each other
To consider everything an experiment
To explore new materials!
Project Brief
Create 3 x artwork in response to the following prompts.
1. The place I was born - in a matchbox
2. My ultimate meal (be as creative as possible) - on a paper cup
3. The best way to happiness - On the back of a used cereal box / used packaging
We encourage you to be as creative as possible and use whichever process or media you think
appropriate eg collage, mixed media, ink, pencil, etc. The only constraint is the material on which
you produce the work i.e. Matchbox, cup and cereal packet!
We look forward to seeing your reclaimed trash at Induction week when we will be organizing a
pop up exhibition of the wonderful / bizarre /creative solutions you present to the group!

Programme Director: Tom Northey
Delivery for 2021/22 academic year
We would like to reassure our students that we are committed to delivering a face to face
experience for 2021/22 and we are hoping that 2021/22 will be a year when our students can return
to all of our campuses. However, we are aware that changes to our delivery may continue to be
required in response to public health advice and as a result of any ongoing Coronavirus measures.
We have prepared this information to let you know how your course may be adapted based on
changes that were implemented during 2020/21, as a result of Government advice.
We are not planning on making any changes to your course or unit aims, learning outcomes, or
assessment methods, under any of our delivery scenarios.
Scenario 1 – Social Distancing rules are continued/re-introduced as a result of public health advice
for the 2021/22 academic year:
Changes to learning spaces
• Our priority as a university is to deliver our teaching on campus. This may be in socially
distanced face-to-face tutorials, group seminars and workshops.
• We will adapt the layouts of our classrooms, workshops and studios so you can have safe
access to these and other specialist facilities, taking social distancing measures into
account and providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) where needed.
Timetabling
• We will adapt the scheduling of classes to limit the number of students on campus at any
one time
• We will adopt the ‘bubble’ principle: meaning you will be taught in smaller groups to enable
social distancing, and have as little physical contact with other groups as possible
• We will plan the scheduling of your classes so you can transition between them safely and
make the lowest possible number of trips to and from campus each week.
Contact time
• We will not change our approach to contact time and scheduled delivery, this will still take
place as published in our Programme Specifications and unit descriptors. However, some of
this contact time may take place in a different way in order to enable social distancing to be
implemented and to prioritise students’ access to facilities and workshops. This will mean
moving some of the larger scale activities such as lectures and seminars online. We would
anticipate a minimum of 25% online provision
Online learning
• Where practical, we’ll also put our lectures, classes and seminars online so that you can still
access them if you are self-isolating, shielding, or unable to come to the UK. This would
included critical studies delivery and large group lectures.
Wellbeing & support• You’ll have one-to-one Personal Development Tutorials with an academic tutor, where
they’ll talk through your progress and check on your wellbeing. They will also offer online
sessions when face-to-face meetings aren’t possible.
• You’ll have access to a full range of specialist advisors who will offer online sessions when
face-to-face meetings aren’t possible.
• All our plans take vulnerable learners and students with additional learning requirements
into account – we’re making sure we can deliver learning safely to all our students, whether
that means accessing teaching on campus, or online.
Industry links
• We will continue to host visiting lectures, industry projects, and networking events either
face-to-face or through online learning.
Assessments
• Assessment will be flexible in both online and physical formats. If you’ve been personally
affected by Coronavirus, your assessments will take that into account and make sure you
aren’t disadvantaged by it.
Equipment & resources
• We’ve developed new library systems and cleaning processes for loans and equipment hire
to make sure you can borrow what you need safely.
• We’ll offer IT equipment loans to our students who need them most.
• As soon as Government advice permits, we will provide as much physical access to our
libraries as we can to ensure that you have access to our physical and digital collections, but
are able to observe social distancing for your own safety and that of others.
Scenario 2 – a further lockdown is implemented by Government
During the 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic year we introduced a number of emergency measures
that included:
• Moving learning and assessment online
• Looking at prior activity with a view to ensuring that learning outcomes are covered
somewhere within the year of study and adjusting assessment tasks accordingly
• Providing alternative assessment where the original assessment is not deliverable
• Providing extensions for units where necessary for the learning and for individual students if
their circumstances require it
• Where the University is not the awarding body, following the validators’ exacting
requirements for predicted and other grades so that students receive a final outcome
commensurate with effort and aptitude
These measures would be re-introduced if necessary, but only for the period covered by
the lockdown, with a return to scenario 1 as soon as is safe and practical to do so.
Adapting to your feedback
• We’ll continue to work with you to find out how you’re feeling about the new measures.
• You’ll have the opportunity to work with teaching staff to adapt and improve the way we
deliver your course in line with public health guidelines.You can also read
