Rationale
Creative Arts practitioners and researchers design and undertake specific discipline studies or hybrid projects based on their research interests within practice-led or theoretical fields.
Synopsis
Students will undertake advanced research, both practical and theoretical, within a practice-led pathway - developing skills and practice through intensive studio work on an individual project. This practice is directly related to, and complements the research undertaken in SCA4000 Honours Dissertation A.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course students should be able to:
- Explore and apply a highly individual and developed range of professional/studio research skills and/or theoretical research methodologies situated in the creative arts;
- Exercise critical, creative thinking and judgment to identify and solve intellectual problems independently;
- Use an advanced knowledge of the historical, ideological, critical and ethical perspectives/discourses in the creative arts, to practice in traditional, hybrid and contemporary cultural and social contexts;
- Communicate research and findings through a clear presentation and articulation of complex knowledge and ideas.
