| Course description | Indicative course content
The module provides improved awareness increased knowledge and better critical understanding through a final design proposal. Students must present a portfolio of work demonstrating that the ARB Part 2 criteria have been satisfied. Although projects vary the overall framework is similar. The intellectual content of all units should be roughly equivalent and is intended to be both stimulating and exploratory.
Aims of course
1 Enable students to experiment with new concepts, ideas, processes, and materials to which they have been introduced
2 Test the learning within a prescribed context or set problem
3 Explore both the artistic and intellectual implications inherent in the programme and demonstrate that they can apply themselves to a programme which is largely self-generated and display personal management skills appropriate to someone about to enter the profession.
