Brief Description This module provides an opportunity to achieve a body of resolved work in a chosen area of investigation which demonstrates a synthesis of knowledge, invention, skill and experience, and shows developmental progression and a resolution of the issues raised in FT 413; sustain an in-depth enquiry, demonstrating a critical engagement with the subject and with its contextual frameworks, and a discriminating grasp of pertinent practical and conceptual methodologies.
Indicative Syllabus In this module students will work independently towards a final presentation of a resolved and conclusive body of studio work. This will function as a coherent articulation in material form of salient issues of content, process and theory identified and developed through previous modules. The role of the module is to offer a continuous period of studio time free from other curricula demands, in order to allow full concentration on a final resolution of the studio work. The module thus offers a framework for a synthesised point of view, where theoretical issues previously addressed can inform the work.
Learning Outcomes

By the end of this module the student should:

1. have demonstrated articulation of new levels of discourse and the ability to assimilate and synthesise ideas;
2. have shown an ability to present coherent and autonomous results;
