SummaryThe culmination of the programme demands a refined and self critical response from the student not only to reflect on a generated body of work, but more essentially identify the strands of thematic content and practice based work to be carried into early career practice.

To provide an opportunity to pursue a specific theoretical and organisational issue of interest for advanced analysis, research and practice;
To complete a critical review that creatively contextualises the student's body of practice-led investigations and the genesis of outcomes;
Demonstrate highly advanced critical awareness based on the development of distinct personal viewpoints and signature approach to site informed projects of high level of complexity.
