Module Aims
• Consolidate skills and knowledge acquired during the course and supervise their application to a unique extended project in preparation for industry or further study
• Provide support for learning and facilitate the development of an independent project that concentrates on personal strengths, areas of interest and career goals
• Encourage independent learning and engagement with the personal and professional development planning process, including time management, critical reflection, and self-marketing.
Content Summary
The Major Project allows each student to concentrate on their own particular area of interest. With reference to the projects and work placements completed in previous years of the course, students will be encouraged to identify their own strengths and career goals, developing a unique proposal aligned closely with their personal skill-set.
Students will engage in independent learning and manage their own time throughout the module, acquiring additional study skills and project-specific subject knowledge.
Taught elements of the module will cover advanced research and study skills, planning and organisation, and verbal, written and visual communication skills. Lectures will also revisit core theories covered in past modules in relation to the development of major
project outcomes.
In addition, guest speakers will be invited to share their experiences of starting out in the fashion and retail industry. The module will highlight the importance of self-marketing and students will explore career options.
