The unit is the second of two consecutive units that provide an opportunity for students to undertake a major independent research project. It allows students to articulate and refine a research topic of their choice, then provides them with the support to conduct that research independently but with guidance in finding appropriate resources and existing literature to inform their knowledge and understanding. The unit develops the student's capacity to analyse and synthesise information from a range of sources including theoretical and historical resources as well as artworks.
