| Course description |
During the summer term you will develop and produce your final project. This is the project for which you submitted a research proposal, as part of the application process to the MScR Interdisciplinary Creative Practices. Using the learning you have accumulated in the previous two terms (new research tools, methods and contextual information about your areas of interest), you will be expected to work towards an outcome which is both professionally delivered and critically framed as an academic project which fulfils advanced research criteria. According the University's definition of an MScR final project, you will have to demonstrate that you have acquired an advanced level of knowledge and understanding in your chosen field of study, and the interdisciplinary connections between the various specialist areas you have chosen to work with, and are capable of undertaking independent research. Supervisory support will be offered to you throughout the summer period.
