Through a course of research, students undertake their project in Interactive Composition under the guidance of their individual supervisor for presentation at the end of the academic year.

The major project can consist of a single defined project and/or contributions to a number of projects, depending on the nature of the discipline.

At the time of commencement, 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.

This subject is the first part of a two-subject sequence, taught over two consecutive study periods. Students are required to enrol in MUSI40115 Interactive Composition Major Project A (37.5 points) and MUSI40116 Interactive Composition Major Project B (37.5 points), consecutively, for a total enrolment of 75 points.
