Honours Research Project A requires students in the BFA (Hons), BMA (Hons) and BDes (Hons) to plan and undertake a research project into an issue, topic or area of art and design, and complete studio work along with appropriate documentation. You will undertake research within themes, which will be developed within particular classes. The themes will allow you to develop a research project which shows the use of appropriate research methods, a high level of scholarship and the ability to plan and execute a project. Support and supervision will be provided within the theme classes.

You may wish to see this course as stage one of a two-part project linked to Honours Research Project B, but this project must be complete in and of itself, and will be assessed independently.

Honours Research Project A contributes 40% of the research project component of your Honours grade.

The submitted work (both written and studio) will be assessed by two independent assessors.
