Introduction

In consultation with your supervisor, you will undertake a creative / practice project (practiced-based) that informs and is informed by the research developed for the CAM Thesis Units. Where viable, this may include utilising the expertise of Creative Arts and Media technical and academic staff, and Hedberg, Hunter St, Inveresk, and/or other specialist facilities. You are required to target, resource and develop your objectives independently. As you progress, you will share your work, receive feedback and document your process and outcomes for a final submission. The self-directed acquisition of skills enabled by this unit models the life-long learning you will need to undertake as a professional in the creative/media industries and/or in further higher degree by research study.
