Sculptures are typically free-standing, three-dimensional objects created out of different materials. Students learning about sculpture are likely to study how to manipulate materials such as clay, wood, metal and glass, as well as methods such as casting, figurine-making, welding and carving.

A course is the study of a particular topic within a wider subject area and is the foundation of a qualification. A typical course includes lectures, assessments and tutorials.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
