Module Details
Module Indicative Content
This Module will develop the students' personal and professional development through a single major project. The project will require students to present a fully resolved 3 year business plan with financial forecasts. Students will agree a work programme that allows for personal development whilst completing key stage exercises that develop and demonstrate their depth of skills and knowledge. Students will also present work which clearly demonstrates an understanding of the demands of running a professional interior design practice.

Module Learning Strategies
Delivery is by distance learning with a comprehensive course handbook, examples of best practice, project templates and telephone and email support being available as necessary through our online VLE, individual and group tutorials, online forums and bulletin boards. Specialist knowledge will be delivered by a diverse team of staff and visiting guest lecturers with a variety of relevant backgrounds and experience. Relevant field trips may be employed at appropriate stages.
