You will also present a set of conclusions drawn from the findings.

The module provides a fundamental understanding of specific skills that are required in order to attain relevant legal knowledge and critical analysis which are utilised throughout the programme. It introduces students to different research methodologies and their appropriateness in order to clearly establish research protocols that can be harnessed by to effectively maximise their capacity and accuracy when researching legal issues. It also seeks to provide an appreciation of how such skills can be used generically thus enhancing their transferability to areas other than those based within a legal context. The GAME+ attributes developed in this module are: Influence and Impact; Personal Effectiveness (TDA).

This Module aims to provide an introduction to key critical and cultural ideas and theories, alongside developing your research practice. Throughout the module you will consider how the opportunities, possibilities and challenges presented both restrict and facilitate Live Event Design. You will explore specific areas of professional practice relevant to your negotiated area of specialism in order to identify the key principles, practices and existing/emerging points of reference that influence design practice, trends and conventions across the creative industries. Throughout the period of study, you will be set a number of specific case study/scenario tasks related to the module content that will test your understanding of design principles in the Live Events and Creative Industries. These will build a comprehensive portfolio that you will submit as a single piece of work at the end of the module.

This module develops and consolidates your ability to undertake a major research project. The two main approaches, quantitative and qualitative, will be explored, including how data is collected and analysed within each of these areas. Attention will also be paid to ensuring that research is ethical. To give this module more salience, you will develop these research skills within the context of your particular subject area.
