This module will allow students to make sophisticated choices in terms of the focus for their own directed study which will complement the material covered in the lectures, seminars, workshops or gallery visits associated with the module. Using the taught material as a framework, students will be able to pursue individually selected and approved topics for study, thus enabling a relatively high degree of autonomy, appropriate at this level.
