Aims
To enable advanced awareness of historical and contemporary fashion through independent investigation
To promote engagement with current debates and issues within contemporary fashion practice and challenge preconceived notions of fashion and/or the industry
To build on the written, research and critical skills acquired in other areas of the programme.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Articulate effectively in writing by producing a coherent, contextually aware and critically enquiring text related to the student's specific research interests and/or relevant to a specific area of fashion
2.
Develop an appropriate research methodology to demonstrate analytical and research skills in order to undertake primary data collection
3.
Produce a body of text that critically examines, discusses and concludes with an acute awareness of the synergy between practice and theory.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Students will produce a written project of 6,000 - 7,000 words (or equivalent) that is related to the student’s specific research interest and/or relevant to a specific area of fashion.
Students will select appropriate research methods to create an original piece of writing which considers the broader aspects of the field of study and is relevant to their practice. This will develop conceptual thinking to create a written research project which is appropriate to underpin and support the student’s ongoing practice.
Interaction with professional bodies, appropriate agencies and practitioners will be encouraged and enable students to apply the appropriate methodologies and data collection to their own theory and practice.

- provide advanced awareness of historical and contemporary fashion through independent investigation
- enable you to conduct primary and secondary research on a range of related fashion business, market and entrepreneurship subjects
- promote professionalism in written outcomes with appropriate referencing and context
Additional Information:The module requires students to produce a written research project that is related to their specific research interests and/or relevant to a specific area of fashion. The subject matter and research question for this piece of work will develop through discussions with the student over the course of the module and should critically consider the broader issues, technological or professional advances or socio-political contexts emerging within the field.
The Research and Practice 2 module enables students to develop their individual academic research related to their practice within a more considered theoretical framework, as well as exploring wider fashion matters which should underpin and impact on their critical thinking in relation to their practice.
