Aims
In the Learning Agreement module students gain an understanding of the process that allows them to successfully plan and independently manage their own learning trajectory throughout their Masters degree, following their own specialism, and addressing their chosen role and project needs. Student projects presented as part of their application to the course and their selected influences are discussed towards clarifying the requirements for further research, planning and experimentation needs that form the content of upcoming, individually negotiated modules, including the Major Project. Thus the module lays the foundation for exploring key questions arising from the intended projects in the subsequent Research Methods module.
