This module is project-based and offers learning in project management and practice. Projects will vary from year to year but will centre on contemporary issues in design, including emerging research directions and issues related to design and business. Projects may be based on academically significant topics, thereby enabling you to become exposed to areas of contemporary design research. Alternatively, they may be linked to 'real world' issues and external clients, thereby developing your abilities in professional practice. Typically project activities in this module directly relate to, and integrate with academic studies in other modules and will provide an important opportunity for project-based creative activities and synthesis.
