Aims

This module acts as an interface between knowledge systems and philosophical ideas students have encountered in Stage 2 modules and contemporary culture, allowing them to try out and critically engage with ideas as they are brought into contact with an empirically defined ‘territory’.

Original Summary:
In the project module students develop the ability to see their subject specific conceptual knowledge projected on material exchanges, on an object or place where such ideas are actualised and where the abstract vocabulary is tested in empirically defined contexts. This process develops their learning power in terms of transferable competences of cultural and technological orientation, of knowledge processing, creativity and sharing. It is a natural way of establishing a pragmatic personal portfolio of skills matching the personal ability and interests and a recognisable niche in the workplace.
