The module is student-centred with guidance provided by a designated supervisor and content negotiated through a learning agreement between student and supervisor. You will choose your assessment from a portfolio of three options: a written essay, an extensive research report, or a portfolio of shorter essays, each option to be between 5,000 – 6,000 words in total. Topics can address any subject relevant to a degree in photography or they may address a specific area of interest relevant to your major project. All topics must be approved by the module leader or assigned supervisor. By working closely with your supervisor you will reflect on your topic and identify a detailed area of investigation. You will consider your project in a wider historical, theoretical or commercial context. You will be expected to undertake research, select and demonstrate the use of appropriate sources, and demonstrate methodological awareness in your work and in your sources.
