Supporting Studies 2 30 Credits
This module will give you the opportunity to take part in a range of negotiated activities in support both of your Principal Study and of your development as an emerging professional.
The emphasis is on working collaboratively in a widening circle of peers, potentially encompassing: your colleagues within your own discipline; other musicians within the School of Music; fellow students from the Undergraduate and Research cohorts; staff and students from other Schools within the Conservatoire; and professionals from a range of disciplines.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this module you will be able to:
- LO1 Demonstrate professional attitudes and the ability to engage effectively and creatively with professionals and peers
- LO2 In a number of contexts, demonstrate ownership of the design and shape of your studies
- LO3 In a wide range of contexts, demonstrate advanced technical and expressive mastery in your supporting studies activities
Assessment
Assessment 1: Observation of Working Practice 100% – Pass/Fail
Feedback relating to supporting studies activities will be given to students along with indicative grades, which will be recorded on the online student record. Prior to the exam board, the indicative grades – and, where necessary, the feedback itself – will be scrutinised by an internal examination board chaired by the Director of Music, leading to an overall module result of Pass or Fail.
Assessed LOs: 1, 2, 3.
