Syllabus: | The Honours program is intended to allow for a fourth year of studio practice to extend projects in which the potential for further development has been established in preceding course work. The central objectives are to extend and develop skills acquired during a relevant (three year) BA program and to acquire new knowledge and research skills. Students will undertake independent research into theoretical studies associated with the studio project. The program emphasises the interconnectedness of theoryand practice. |
