Learning & method assessment
This unit will be delivered through a series of lectures and workshops in order to enhance students’ understanding and application of creative enterprise skills. Group critiques with peers and tutors will promote reflective learning, along with group discussions where critical thinking skills will be refined.

Students will be increasingly autonomous in their approach to their learning and will be expected to conduct independent research in order to gain a sophisticated understanding of their professional development.

Assessment will be conducted through development of a portfolio of work and research for the formative assessment units; and then for the final summative unit learners will submit a creative enterprise business plan, pitch their creative enterprise business plan and submit a final evaluation.

Facilities and learning resources will be available for students to access outside taught sessions including our art studios, music studios at the Witney campus and newly build Media facilities at Abingdon campus.
