Graduate school can be an exciting next step, but it isn't the only path forward. In this interactive workshop, you'll consider whether further study aligns with your creative practice and career goals, then learn how to identify graduate programs that match your priorities.

**Learning Outcomes:**

- Clarify why you are considering graduate school.
- Consider whether graduate school makes sense now, later, or perhaps not at all.
- Identify personal priorities for selecting a graduate programme.
- Compare programmes using fit, structure, resources, costs, location and outcomes.
