material experiments and extensive research and consultation. The Interim Juries and Final Document Submission arrangements are the same as described for TS3. TS tutors aim to integrate the TS3 and TS5 work with the unit agendas as much as possible, developing wherever necessary the unit’s technical brief and supporting it with additional specialised information – ie, seminars, lectures, visits, etc. Technical Design tutors offer each student the wherewithal to materialise the ideas, concepts and ambitions born in the intimacy of the unit. Technical Studies reinforces the plurality and variety of the units by adapting the requirements of TS3 and TS5 to the individual unit agenda. The Prospectus contains a brief summary of the programme and courses offered. Full details can be found found in Complementary Studies Course Booklet, available at the beginning of the academic year.
