Aims
To allow students, within a major professional project, to identify professional development needs, focussed within their own career. Students will propose and undertake a piece of practical work and research which addresses those needs and allows for a critical evaluation of progress. Within this Module the student will be enabled to investigate and practically engage with research questions, which will inform both their personal and professional development. Students will be expected to examine and clarify the methodologies through which they both address the questions identified and conduct their research. The final analysis and critical context of the project will allow for a robust and reflective evaluation of the project's findings.

Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
The module provides the opportunity for a student to propose and deliver a significant professionally focussed project which robustly addresses their work and career priorities, identified through careful self-reflection and critical analysis. The project is individually directed and managed, with 'light touch' supervision and mentoring as required. The module will consider critical ideas and sector specific industry developments and their relationship to the student's chosen sector, their own career development and the wider Music and Creative Industry. Students will undertake self-reflection and career analysis and determine key questions that will inform their own professional development and understanding of their work and their specific industry area. A range of work as research and other methodologies will be considered, and the design of their research plan will be investigated before the student proposal approaches the investigations within their final project. The module will then be concerned with conducting the research, analysing their findings and data and appropriately documenting their conclusions and recommendations.
