Brief Description

At the end of level three students are encouraged to participate in one or a number of end of year exhibitions. Final year exhibitions allow students to plan, prepare and exhibit their best practical projects. This module aims to provide students with the opportunity of launching themselves into the design industry and to present their portfolios for potential employment.

Indicative Syllabus

The aim of this module is to allow students to work as a group to design and plan exhibition spaces. Students will be required to work in teams to organise, plan and develop concepts for their exhibition space. Members of the team will need to negotiate their individual roles and responsibilities within the team. The main focus of the module concentrates on planning, working as a team and designing spaces. Individual members will also be required to produce a body of practical work for inclusion in the exhibitions. All students will need to focus on their time management and produce creative concepts of their exhibitions. By the end of the module, teams will be required to deliver a presentation of research and exhibition concepts, showing clear progression towards final presentation visuals. All students will be expected to present conceptual film, models and presentation materials for assessment
