Overall, assessment is based on applications of technique in performance situations, either in front of an audience or in workshops. The coursework element is focused on your future career, your working environment and critical life skills. In your third year you undertake an optional practical or written research project. Again, career focused and chosen by you. Practical/written work ratio 80% practical work / 20% written course work
