Module summary

This module allows you to undertake a substantial piece of self-directed scholarly work as an individual initiative. You can choose to work on a
project to either: design and develop an interactive media artefact, or use critical and quantitative or qualitative analysis to explore a research question,
both with an accompanying report, or write a dissertation. The module will enable you to develop your skills in planning and writing scholarly reports,
including reflective analysis on the achievements of the project. It will draw together the knowledge and skills developed in the preceding years of the
programme by allowing you to focus on a topic (whether technical, theoretical or thematic) of their own choice. You are supported in this
module through group and individual supervision meetings with academic staff.
