Students are supported by staff input through a series of design activities, and tutorials during the initial modules that are designed to identify an area of interest that can then be fully explored. The formal presentation of this initial research activity and the conclusions drawn, form the basis of the 'statement of intent' document. Both the practical and theoretical elements will be assessed both during, and at the end of, each module.
Students work on individual projects and there is also the opportunity to work in groups on ‘live’ projects for real companies. In industry advertising is essentially a group activity and this group work prepares students for their future career.
