Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
The module will consider critical and innovative ideas, relevant theoretical perspectives concerning the music and wider creative industries, developments in global economies and public policy and critically explore how these and other similar considerations relate to the subject area of the student's work and sector interest.
Students will undertake self-reflection and career analysis and thereby determine key questions that will inform their research themes and their personal understanding of their work and career development. A range of 'work as research' and other methodologies will be considered, and the design of the research plan will be investigated and approved before the student's proposal moves to the dissertation. The module will then be concerned with completion of the dissertation under appropriate 'light touch' supervision.
