Staff and students from BA Fine Art: Computational Arts course at Camberwell College of Arts will lead this free and interactive session. Our amazing student ambassadors will help participants explore ways of working with digital tools to develop their own creative practices.

NCH: Enrichment Programme
Enrichment at NCH is a fantastic opportunity to explore an extra subject in addition to those involved in your degree programme by going to the lectures of, and writing one essay each for, two 30-credit modules from the same Faculty. It is of course optional, but if you complete it your NCH Diploma will be enhanced to an NCH Diploma with Enrichment.
As a second-year Philosophy with Politics student I was able to do two English courses, Literature 1830-1900 and Literature 1900 to the present, and thoroughly enjoyed them.
For each of your two Enrichment courses, you only have to write one essay and you only need a passing mark. This means it isn’t a huge additional workload to do something that makes you stand out a little and allows you to try some courses you might be interested in but decided not to do as part of your degree. For me, that was English.
