Module Aims
This module provides students with the opportunity to undertake a substantial piece of creative/practical work, linked to an interest they intend to undertake in employment. It will include the following broad aims:

Display an implicit awareness of the relationship of the chosen project to the wider historical, philosophical, industrial, cultural and social practices and phenomena as appropriate.
Adhere to academic and professional working practices and codes of conduct.
Content Summary
This is a professional practice module, which offers an opportunity for students to explore in more depth one of the discrete routes of study that students would have engaged with during the course. Areas of study that students could choose to focus on (students would choose to concentrate during the module on one topic) could include, but are not limited to:
Song Writing Portfolio
A Performance Portfolio (Individual or Ensemble)
Production Based Portfolio.
Music and Media Portfolio
Music Business Based Portfolio
A Pedagogical Based Portfolio
A Community Music Based Portfolio
An entrepreneurial Based Portfolio
After attending a short series of introductory workshops at the start of the module, students are aligned with a tutor, who will advise on the development of projects.
Throughout the process, students will be expected to work autonomously in planning and managing resources within broad guidelines, accepting full responsibility in relation to academic and professional codes of conduct.
