Project Development (P4060)

30 credits, Level 6

Autumn teaching

This module extends the ideas explored during your first two years of the degree. After choosing a practice medium, you will design, research and develop a substantial practice project.

The module provides you with:

• master classes from professionals and faculty in the field
• guidance in designing and researching a project
• production tutor support with technical and production issues.

This practice work will be supported by relevant readings in media theory, aesthetics and production techniques which will be discussed in workshops. The project will be developed further and will conclude in the spring/summer course Final Creative Project.

However, there may be changes to these modules in response to COVID-19, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
