My present ambition is to succeed in achieving a Diploma in Extended Interactive Media and Game Arts. I need to explore my option to study in Higher Education and discover which courses would best suit my area of interest. I would then like to complete a Foundation Degree.
By exploring these areas of study I feel I will discover a sense of direction and discover how I can apply my skills to employment.
Personal Goals: Immediate, Short and Medium term
I enjoy the subject of interactive media and game art and want to learn more about it. I enjoy the environment at the Plymouth College of Art, as it has a positive, calm atmosphere. Therefore I would like to continue my studies at a higher level at the College of Art.
I would also like to have more opportunity to mix socially with other students on my course and I look forward to this aspect of Higher Education. I am attending the Peer to Peer sessions on Mondays to help me make contact with other students.
My short term goal is to complete the Diploma course and gradually become more independent.
Next year I would like to be accepted on a Foundation Degree at the College of Art.
Personally I am looking forward to mastering the iphone with the new technology of an iportal, and I hope this will allow me to become more independent.
I intend to attend the open day at the College of Art and the University of Plymouth to find out information about the courses which I have investigated on line. I have written a personal statement which I would like my tutor to read and give me feedback on. I will complete an application to UCAS before January 15th 2012.
I would like to make contact with students who have completed the course I intend to go on next year. I also intend to talk to my peers on my present course to see what they are doing and if any intend to do the same course as me.
I would like the opportunity to look at the work completed by students on the foundation degree course to see how I need to improve my own work. I also feel I need to develop my skills and become a more confident, independent learner.
In three years time I would like to have completed a degree course. I intend to apply to UCAS and then to the College of Art for a place on a Foundation Degree course. If I have the necessary ability I would like to aspire to a Degree course.
I will need to work hard and learn new skills and become more self- reliant in my approach to study, exploring my own areas of interest.
