| Course description | Indicative course content
This module seeks to assess the student's ability to identify and communicate effectively the intellectual development and critical awareness show in their work. This involves an ability to review and consolidate organisational and exhibition strategies and present a comprehensive documentation of practical explorations and findings. Central to this appraisal will be concern for heightened rationalisation of thematic ideas implicit to a body of realised and emergent work.
Aims of course
1 To encourage you to successfully communicate a detailed and highly advanced knowledge of relevant theoretical debates concerning the thematic focus of practice-led work.
2 To allow you to pursue advanced study of theoretical and organisational issues appropriate to a specialist field of practice.
3 To provide students with the requisite knowledge and research skills to creatively contextualise their practice and imaginatively demonstrate its wider validity
