This module allows students to undertake an extended research project into a topic of relevance to their practical discipline. It should support and inform the development of a logical argument which explores and debates theoretical, historical and critical issues relevant to contemporary practice; it can also focus more clearly upon issues of relevance to professional practice, for example through the development of a suitable case study. It can be presented as a traditional Thesis text of words with appropriate visual illustrations. Or alternatively as a Critical Commentary on Practice – An opportunity for a student to select a body of work from their recent studio practice, and critically reflect upon that body of work using 6000-8000 words. If you choose to write a Critical Commentary on Practice you will be expected to create an extant body of practical studio work, specifically for the Dissertation module, that will only assessed for this module.
