Degree Project Proposal (20 credits)
The Degree Project Proposal allows students at the beginning of their third year to reflect on the development of their individual practice.
Students develop and present a proposal for a specific area of enquiry, that outlines their methods and a contextual framework enabling them to develop a significant body of practice-based research in the form of their Degree Project.
Degree Project (60 credits)
In this module students formulate and undertake a major practice-based project which encourages students to explore relevant themes and issues in a specific, or range of, Fine Art disciplines.
Students continue to develop ideas in conjunction with a supervising tutor. The module is assessed in the form of an exhibition and viva. This module represents the culmination of students’ creative progress towards an Honours Degree.

Dissertation and Critical review (40 credits)
In this theory module students extend their knowledge of the historical precedents and contemporary ideas and theories that they developed in their first two years of study. Each student devises an agreed programme of research with their supervisor in order to broaden their understanding of contemporary art practice and theory in relation to artists, artworks and ideas that are relevant to their own practice.
Students submit a 6000 word dissertation and 2000 word critical review, as well as make a visual presentation on the themes and theories that underpin their own practice. Primary research sources are used that may include specialist archival research, field research as well as university library journal and publication collections.
