Here is some advice that I would pass on to anyone starting on the Degree:
- Read through the handbooks and Readers many, many times! - Before you start it's so good to have an overview of what you have to do.
- Plan your time effectively - I was super busy with performing contracts and teaching work so I always set aside a few hours per week to get focussed and get the work done.
- Check blogs regularly - It can be quite lonely on the course, especially if you are confused with what to do. Keep in the loop by checking up on other peoples progress.
- Try find a group of people with a similar inquiry to you that you can keep in contact with. I had a facebook group and it was so handy if you had a quick question to ask!
Taking on this BAPP Arts challenge the year after I graduated was perfect for me as I could keep focussed and continue to improve my professional career. I feel motivated to keep studying and learning!
