| Fees | Look up fees |
Through a course of research and practice, students undertake their year-long project in Jazz & Improvisation for presentation at the end of the academic year, under the guidance of their individual supervisor.
The project outcome may take the form of a performance, exhibition, writing (poetry, fiction, script or other written literary forms), design, film, video, multimedia, CD, DVD or other new media technologies and modes of presentation.
The major project can consist of single defined project or contributions to a number of projects depending on the nature of the discipline. At the time of selection the written outline of the proposed major project or major field of study is submitted. This provides the framework for developing the lines of inquiry taken by the student and the final creative work outcome.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- display a high level of artistic practice informed by their analytical, critical and research skills;
- demonstrate capabilities, as better informed, skilled and more articulate artists;
- critically reflect on the work produced and the artist's role in society;
- demonstrate the qualities of professional practitioners in the fine arts.
