Course code
Qualifications are made up of courses. Some universities call these papers. Each course is numbered using six digits.
Level
The fourth number of the course code shows the level of the course. For example, in course 219206, the fourth number is a 2, so it is a 200-level course (usually studied in the second year of full-time study).
Credits
Each course is worth a number of credits. You combine courses (credits) to meet the total number of credits needed for your qualification.

Course notes
Production Planning and Development for the Honours degree is where students develop and plan their Creative Project for the second semester. The Creative Project provides students with the opportunity to focus on a more substantial project than they were involved in in the third year of the Bachelor’s degree, as well as the expectation that they will go deeper into creative research within their chosen field. The degree encourages the development of a wide variety of work across the Massey Screen Arts fields, but should fit within the scope of the full-time study period and the number of students in the course working on it.
As well as developing the components and scope of their Creative Project, students will develop a Research Question, outlining the aspects of their creative field they want to explore and setting themselves measurable creative and critical goals to aim for.
Group work is possible, but each student will develop their own Research Question and apply it to the specific activity that they are engaged in within the Creative Project. While the group project may have common goals and a single deliverable, each student will be evaluated on their own creative and research achievements and presentation.
Projects should showcase active engagement with creative inquiry, firmly grounded in both contemporary and historical artistic contexts. Students are required to develop their work to a presentable state for an audience, while documenting the developmental process and prototypical iterations. A critically-reflective attitude is fundamental, bolstered by robust research methodologies.
