This module will enable you to improve your own communication and to evaluate the way communication works to convey ideas. Taking an active approach, you will work through complex stories and messages, finding new ways to communicate simply, clearly and effectively. You will practice observation, understand and evaluate context, and learn to empathise with your audience to craft persuasive and professional outputs.

This module will utilise real-world examples and computer simulations, supported by relevant concepts and theories. |
| Global Politics: Contest for Supremacy | The extent of globalisation requires an exploration of international politics to develop an understanding of current issues such as war, diplomacy, justice, and sustainability.

You will have the opportunity to use all the filmmaking skills gained on the degree and you will develop a coherent and comprehensive marketing strategy recognising your short film’s place in the market. Reflecting the remit of the degree you will be working to an industry standard, contextualising your final film within a market framework and identifying its place in the commercial arena. It gives you the opportunity to emerge from the degree as a production professional bringing together skills learnt throughout the three years of the programme. |
| Major Project l |
The Major Project is the culmination of your studies. You will study Major Project I in the first term of your final year and Major Project II in the second. Each module comprises 20 credits. Together, the two modules form one project. The Major Project is a substantial piece of work, drawing on your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning about industry and entrepreneurship. You will have the freedom to design a self-directed project that reflects your interests and career aspirations. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to work you’re completing on your other final year modules. In Major Project I, you will start the term developing a proposal for your Major Project, supported by your tutors. Following your proposal, you will begin work on your Major Project, learning through individual or group supervision, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project. |
| Major Project II |
Major Project II is the second Major Project module in your final year. Following the research and development you undertook in Major Project I, you will realise and complete your work in Major Project ll. The Major Project is your opportunity to apply your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning around industry and/or entrepreneurship to a topic of your choice. Through the Major Project, you can realise your ambitions as you prepare to graduate with work that illustrates your aspirations. You will learn through individual or group supervisions, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to the work you’re completing on your other final year modules. If you are working on an entrepreneurial project for your Major Project, you may be able to join the Founders Programme, which supports students and graduates interested in starting their own business with tailored guidance, coaching, mentoring, and access to experiential bootcamps and live events. |
