This seeks to establish connections between reflection, practice and planning that informs an advancement beyond the programme, calling for the student to present an autonomous disciplinary position.
Aims of course
1 To provide an opportunity to pursue a specific theoretical and organisational issue of interest for advanced analysis, research and practice.
