Module Content
Outline Syllabus:• Cultural policy scope and definitions

Additional Information:Students are expected to devise their own area of study as agreed with the Module Leader. This provides a bridge from Level 4 Context where students choose their area of study from set questions to Level 5 Context where students will have an entirely free choice of subject within which they will devise their own question. Students are expected to use journals as well as other sources. A formative, non-assessed assignment will be given (essay plan and research strategy) and issues from this will be addressed through group tutorial.
The module leader is Dave Wibberley.
