This report has two aims. Firstly, it is an evaluation report of the first run of a new
course run by the Centre for Learning and Teaching in Art and Design (cltad). The
second aim is to begin to report on a longitudinal study of a small sample of individuals

not concluded in this report, but preliminary findings from the cohort regarding their
professional identities at this point in time are included
