Additional Information:
Group sessions delivered in the first semester will help students shape the ideas of their research project and share it with their peers and the module leader. Then each student will be allocated a supervisor, who will offer one-to-one tutorials in order to advise student on the most effective way to develop their project. Students may produce either a written thesis or a practical, film-based, research project with accompanying written critical reflection.
