What you will study

Stage one: Research Process

This unit introduces concept creation tools and examines the role that research plays in developing and contextualising advanced practice-based projects in the creative fields of communication and digital technology

Technology Issues

The unit provides you with a current map of technologies used in the communication industries. Through a series of projects, you will work across disciplines, investigate emerging industry technologies and apply them creatively.

Stage two: Business and Innovation

This unit equips you with the awareness, understanding and basic skills to manage the broad and often complex spectrum of business issues/factors that impact creative endeavour and the successful realisation of new products and services.

Concept and Prototyping

In this unit, you will experiment with conceptual and practical prototyping processes in order to develop and test your approaches to projects. The result will be an articulation of a concept or full prototype for the major project.

Stage three: Major Project

The major project represents the culmination of your investigation and the final stage of the research strategy. This is a substantial piece of work that embodies the integration of theory and practice, is underpinned by advanced practice- based methodologies and processes and is informed by your ongoing reflective analysis and personal learning.
