| Summary | The project is student lead and negotiated through close liaison with an allocated supervisor, and developed from a student's particular interest in an aspect of the MA/MFA Design Informatics.
Module Aims
The module will:
1. Support the students ability to independently plan, carry out and articulate the development and application of specific design informatics production in the solution of a substantial practical problem to a high professional and critical standard.
2. Provide a significant context for individual enquiry and self directed study including developing specific skills, exploring a specific field of research and articulating a personal perspective based upon learning.

| Course description |
The project comprises of a significant design production that should be creative and experimental in its approach and placed within a critical theoretical context. Students will be expected to engage in technical as well as design and cultural concerns.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Design and develop a significant artefact of high production values that integrates established design methods with digital technology and informatics systems..
- Develop and articulate a theoretical framework that supports the production of a manufactured artefact through a synthesis of critical theory and practice.
- Research a problem through the review of literature and design precedents, demonstrate the appropriate use of methods for speculative development and analysis, and the communication of meaningful findings.
