Skills Portfolio (this module is offered to allow students to garner any technical and creative skills they need for the rest of the course; context and methodology (this module is intended to fulfil the requirements of a research methodology module; however, since a large part of the this programme is practice-based, and the methodology for this aspect of students� work is covered by other modules in the programme, it is intended to combine a study of research methodology with a study of context in terms of the student�s own practice, specifically of a set of paradigms that characterise the field�s current, creative boundaries; the primary teaching method for this module is a weekly lecture/seminar, with some tutorial sessions that focus on pathway specialism; electroacoustic composition techniques (option); visual music (option); collaborative and interdisciplinary practice; major project.
