Additional Information:Southern Regional College - Module Leader - Dr Sean Tremer For students with specific learning needs, a more suitable and appropriate form of this assessment may be negotiated. This module provides the opportunity to submit a professionally presented dissertation (6000 word illustrated, Harvard-referenced paper, double spaced and bound). It allows each student to work independently and in depth from a chosen subject relating to Art & Design and/or a theme deriving from their own practice. Journals: Appropriate Journals will be suggested by individual supervisors. Websites: Websites will be suggested during group and individual tutorials as these are subject to rapid change.
