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
Students receive training in research methodologies and principles, enabling them to position their work within a research framework, fostering their development as critically informed creative practitioners.
Throughout the course, students not only learn to frame and present their creative practice as research but are also encouraged to develop a research portfolio. This portfolio, consisting of their explorations and findings, contributes to their advanced production project. This comprehensive approach equips students with critical reflexive and analytical skills, allowing them to engage in the formulation of a research proposal for their advanced production project.
