This forms a core element of our degree
programmes. You will enhance your practice with
an awareness of the history and development of
your chosen discipline.
Contextual Studies
“We help you to discover key artists, makers,
designers and communicators and encourage
you to think about the position of your own
work in this field.
The contextual studies journey will allow
you to deepen your reading around your
practice. We give you a range of projects
whilst you are at Ravensbourne, culminating
in a full length study around your chosen
theme or practitioner.
Writing and words are not the sole focus of
the contextual studies units. We nurture our
students in finding innovative, creative and
inventive methods of showing us their
research and critical thinking.”
