| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| The module adapts the professional skills, knowledge and capacities that students have acquired in Stage 1 to the specific context of their chosen area of creative practice. This includes a growing awareness of the creative industries and sustainable development goals. Group work and project delivery within the studio will provide a structure for the student to recognise skills and capacities beyond their area of creative practice and be able to categorise, compare and practice these. Inputs from resources such as the Employability Hub, Study Skills and EIG will contribute to learning, and students will show developing knowledge of the infrastructure supporting professional creative practices. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| The module will be delivered through a series of tasks, lectures, collaborative projects and reflective writing (or equivalent documentation), within studio and as self-directed research. |
