Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The Studio Practice module focuses on the development of the student's individual practice. The module's structure fosters an inquisitive approach ensuring that students have the resources to engage with current debates and issues within fashion. The focus is on extending existing knowledge and practical skills through engagement with individual student ideas shaped by new/existing knowledge and practical approaches. Exploration of fashion concepts will challenge preconceived notions of the discipline. Students will develop a range of theoretical skills and practical experience through the exploration of their own practice-led project that replicates real world interactions for making, research and collaborative practice.
This module encourages students to work online, externally and in a studio-based environment to allow independent study and practice to be underpinned with continued tutorial support, group critiques and evaluation. Students will be encouraged to fuse creative developments whilst drawing on the wider context of the course. Students will consider the broader implications of fashion and combine previous knowledge and practice to achieve real world outputs which offer impact to the fashion industry. Learning on the module combines experiential practical
elements with more formal tutorial and seminar-based delivery. Students will be introduced to workshops and technical support to develop their practical skills and support their on-going project work. Investigation into a variety of creative techniques with which to present their research project/s to the outside world will be examined.

This module ensures that you develop creative and technical excellence in your aesthetic understanding of practical and creative practice. It aims to:
- support you in the sourcing and utilisation of appropriate materials and methodologies to create samples and trials in an appropriate format
- ensure you develop practical and critical skills that demonstrate creativity, individual languages and signatures
Additional Information:Students are required to define their existing practice and extend its scope and ambition through a self-initiated set project defined to challenge their preconceived notions of the discipline and develop the critical and creative innovation required for advanced practice. Students will have access to workshops and technical support to develop their practical skills. The creative opportunities presented through this investigation will allow students to explore concepts and prototyping within a diverse range of creative fashion practice. Teaching will happen through individual tutorials, seminars, studio group critiques and workshops, and assessment will take place by portfolio (body of practical work) and presentations (to include final viva).
