About this module
This module provides an opportunity for you to work independently to develop a study of your own choosing (subject to approval).
It enables you to explore in detail an aspect of practice that is of particular interest to you as an individual practitioner. The use of a practice based project as a vehicle for critical exploration of current practice in relation to the literature ensures that theory and practice are fully integrated into one cohesive body of work.
