In these units the student will implement, and prepare for submission of, the thesis. The study, and its progress, will be closely supervised by the appointed supervisors. The preparation of the thesis will be done with the support of the supervisors, and with instruction from the course co-ordinator. It is probable that at least one draft thesis will be prepared. The student and supervisors will mutually agree on progress review dates, on draft submission dates, and creative work dates. A component of these units will be a masters forum where students foster praxis by extending their research through analysis and debate of their work, and that of others, within the diverse arts field. The aim is to develop a critical understanding of discipline specificity and cross-disciplinarity across the arts.
