Description
This course can be taken as an elective by academically capable BSc Urban Studies students in years 2 or 3. It aims at enabling the student, subject to agreement in advance with a supervisor, to independently pursue a topic (or work in a format) which is not otherwise on offer among core or elective courses of the programme. It provides great flexibility and can take the form, for example, of:
An essay (theoretical, historical, practice-oriented, or polemic), on a well defined question
A small research report, on a well defined research question
A documentary film on a well-defined issue, with accompanying commentary
A photographic project on a well-defined issue, with accompanying commentary
A design project (drawings and models), with accompanying commentary
A website, with accompanying commentary
A travel diary/reportage/report.
A media reportage and/or substantial journalistic piece investigating a topic of current interest.
The topic chosen should be materially different to that explored in the other modules taken as part of the BSc. It cannot be an extended version of a piece of work you have done for another module!
Students interested in pursuing this module should email a short description of their proposed topic and format to the module coordinator before making their module selection.
