Module Aims

All learners will be required to research, document, reflect and produce a project in a specific field of interest (everyone's project written work will be individual, but the project can be collaborative). It is an opportunity for them to specialise, analyse, explore, discuss and review the topic and determine a specific output with their module tutor.
