This module is specifically designed to facilitate students on exchange programmes studying at the university and providing a module suite for exchanges students who go away to other institutions to remain enrolled on at the university.

Students will work with a project supervisor to plan and execute a piece of practical work which will encompass as much as possible of the learning and skills which have been developed over the year. They will be encouraged to collaborate across courses and levels in order to further develop skills and experience and build professional portfolios. The size and scale will be part of the negotiation process, and plans will be co-created with academic staff to ensure size and levelness is appropriate for the specific project.

The Practical Project Proposal will be undertaken very early in the project block, will set out the plan for the rest of the work, the length, deliverable items at the end and the way in which students will work with others (or not) to deliver it. (LO1)

The Practical Project Portfolio will consist of collated documentation of the student’s contribution to their project. This contribution will consist of not only the final product and associated documentation, but also documentation of all of the preparatory work which has gone into the creation of the project. This might be focussed around a specific final artifact, in the case of a composition or recording based task, but it might be a portfolio of social media posts and results in the case of a marketing focussed project. (LO 1,2 and 3)

Exchange students will engage in the classes available at the time of their study, if this does not fit with the overall schedule of the rest of music and sound, this module can be used to fill in 40 credits of study to ensure that the exchange covers 60 credits.

1. Demonstrate a well-developed understanding of different approaches to solving practical problems within Music and Sound practice. Problem Solving

2. Apply a wide range of knowledge of music and sound practice in the creation of a substantial practical music and sound output. Application

3. Demonstrate knowledge of, and effectively apply in practice a variety of theories and concepts in music and sound as they apply to practical product creation. Knowledge and Understanding, Application.
