The aims of this module are to:

• Design, articulate, and pursue an extended, practice-based research inquiry that integrates theoretical positioning, methodological rigour, and critical contextual awareness within a chosen field of visual communication.
• Synthesise advanced research and production processes - including iterative experimentation, prototyping, testing, and reflection - towards the development of an innovative and conceptually coherent major project.
• Facilitate a sophisticated realisation of creative visual material, narrative, or interactive outcomes through the integration of appropriate analogue, digital, or hybrid technical processes.
• Critically position and evaluate a design outcome within professional and research-based debates, culminating in a resolved body of work that evidences readiness for professional progression or further academic study.
