As there appears not to have been any follow-up to the post about this in May last year @Kimbui , can you please offer an update rather than just another call for participation?

Hi Kim, what is the nature of the research? Happy to help but I don’t want to waste yours or my time if whatever it is you’re researching isn’t something I can help you with.

You write this,
“Welcome anyone who works or passionate with Fine Art to join our research study”

But actually it’s only open to people with a degree - lots of us have experience, just not a degree…,
 
and there are others of us with collections of degrees even if not in fine art, but if my question about follow-up to last year's request isn't answered then I think we'll treat this as spam
 
"What involved" is enough for me to be a non-participant - although my lack of degree disqualifies me anyway!

Hi Lindsay, appreciate your feedback. Sorry I was trying to get the hang of it, I did realise that that can update the post and wanted to delete the new post but I couldn't figure out how to hence that's why there 2 posts. Let me try again, thank you.
 
As regards the need for a degree, as this is coming from the marketing department they may well be restricting it to people already with degrees (most likely customers) or people who can provide feedback on an existing Masters in fine art.

We'll review your response and be in touch to confirm your participation.

I hope this helps and Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Andy, thanks for your message. The goal is to gather qualitative insights before the online MA Fine Art programme is built, we would like to understand what prospective students actually want from an online MA Fine Art so UAL can design a programme that genuinely reflect market demand. I hope this helps.

You have NOT answered my question. Why do you need a degree to be able to create "Fine Art".

I CANNOT sign up as I don't have a degree of any description. However, I do have a CSE in sums, is that acceptable?

I suggested an answer, before the stream of posts from @Kimbui in my earlier post

As an aside, where is it suggested you need a degree to "create" fine art ?

EDIT I see that my suggestion seems to be supported by the post here

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your comment and for flagging this.

Yes, it’s all legitimate. We’re from the University of the Arts London (UAL), and we’re using Qualtrics, a third-party survey platform, to host the sign-up form. That’s why the link uses the arts.eu.qualtrics.com domain rather than arts.ac.uk.

The form is created and managed by UAL through our institutional Qualtrics account, so the link is an official UAL form hosted on Qualtrics. The “arts” subdomain is associated with our UAL Qualtrics account.

Hope that helps clarify!
Best,
Kim

I explained this in my earlier post. This was your inference from what they had said, but it isn't what they actually said, and in the context of their request, I thought your inference was incorrect.
