This module ensures that students confront their responsibilities as professionals and manage a project that is rooted firmly in the professional world. Jobs in the music business vary enormously and musicians need to be adaptable and flexible to carve their own niche in the industry.
Final projects must be realistic and achievable and are linked with the earlier Course Planning and Research Methods modules.
During the module, students will consolidate the skills and experience gained through the course of their studies. These include industry related skills, and research methods enabling them to analyse, interpret, and reflect upon their chosen project activity in a systematic fashion.
In the final stage of their studies, students will be able to utilise their analysis of past experience to create theories upon which to base models for future working practice.
