This module gives you the opportunity to align and apply your creative practice to a live practice-based research project or opportunity for entrepreneurial practice. Projects and opportunities may arise from the ongoing practice and research within the university, or may be initiated by yourself. In either case, you will be required to work with appropriate external clients and/or partners.

You will work to professional standards with socially responsible practices to generate and deliver useable creative outputs. You must demonstrate integrity, leadership and good personal communication skills, whilst managing complex open-ended problems in a socio-economic and/or technical context.

At the beginning of the module, you will negotiate an Individual Learning Agreement with the programme team to define the learning to be undertaken, and to determine how these activities will enable you to meet the learning outcomes of the module. You will keep a learning journal throughout the module. At the end of the module you will produce a creative portfolio that evidences professional knowledge and skills and critical reflection. This will be supported by a written reflective report where you will critically analyse and appraise your own work within the context of the professional environment you have been working within.
