The purpose of this module is to give students experience of carrying out a substantial industry-oriented digital media project. This requires the students to take responsibility for an entire project life-cycle and to produce an agreed set of deliverables for an external client. The project enables learners to gain practical experience of the application of knowledge in a professional setting, to integrate knowledge and skills acquired from all parts of the degree, and to provide a context within which to further develop their professional practice.
