The creative process of composing motion pictures and the related digital aspects. Students’ film production projects should be encouraged to involve the use of digital photographic applications. Students will be expected to work on real life collaborative projects that will help them interact across disciplines and the industry particularly the photo and film industry. Set Design techniques in Television and other media production processes will be explored. This will include the creation of sets for photographic and motion picture scenarios. Students will be encouraged to have a working understanding of the various materials needed for set construction and composition.

The final project is a problem-solving and strategic design project to be proposed and executed by final year students with an outcome in the form of a viable and testable physical or digital product. This must be accompanied by a dissertation documenting the research approach taken from problem identification to the final solution. Work is to be carried out independently by a student and guided by a supervising lecturer. 300 level Fashion Design Option

At the beginning of the final year, a student is allowed to select topics in metal which shall be approved and carried out under supervision of a lecturer. The student will be required to prepare a project report. There should be an attempt to improve existing techniques and designs. 300 Level Textile Design Option

This module expects students to carry out independent research projects in visual communication design (Graphics) and Multimedia Technology. Students here are expected to demonstrate knowledge gained throughout their years of study. These researches can be service, or product based in any aspect of graphics, communication arts or multimedia technology. 300 Level jewellery Design option

At the beginning of the final year, a student is allowed to select topics in textile design which shall be approved and carried out under supervision of a lecturer. The student will be required to prepare a project report. There should be an attempt to improve existing techniques and designs. Students carry out independent research in either textile arts, textile design, fashion design or interior design in which students demonstrate knowledge gained throughout the year of study.

Staffing Academic Staff This should be in the ratio of one academic staff to eight students, where a department has up to six areas of specialization each area should have at least two lecturers at the senior category. This number should be increased where there are postgraduate programmes. In order to prevent the practice of indigenous arts and crafts from becoming extinct; traditional craftsmen should be invited to the university for short periods as Artist-in-Residence. It is expected that his will enable them to transfer their skills to younger generation. Library Each Faculty/School should be provided with fully equipped library and information technology centre with computers and Internet connectivity and quick reference books, periodicals, journals and audio-visual materials. Such library and information resources will be additional to the University central library facilities Classroom, Laboratories, Workshops, and Offices 1.
