BA(Hons) Scheme in Design/ SD4001 Cooperative Project
Cooperative projects provide final year students with opportunities to join collaborative projects sponsored by clients in both the commercial and non-profit sectors. Held over nine weeks between September and November, the Projects feature students from different disciplines addressing a mutually agreed design brief.
Students are required to:
• Develop an argument in support of their design proposal
• Develop the design or designs based on that proposal
• Be responsible for project planning, scheduling and management
• Present the design concept at the initial and final stages for feedback and discussion

BA(Hons) in Digital Media/ SD4964 Co-operative Project
This project aims to provide students with the experience of working with briefs, deadlines, ideas and the creation of content. Through proposals and/or situations that require a digital medium to communication, students are in direct contact with the client to understand the desired effects and the context of this exercise.
The following steps form the common structure of this subject:
• Project planning, scheduling and execution
• Student’s return brief to the client
• Defining the “Final Material Outcome” for the project
• Project research, analysis and conceptual exploration of issues
• Initial contact with the client to receive the brief on the project
• Final presentation to the client and client feedback

The objectives of project-based subject are to let students gain hands-on experience through design and creation processes and to facilitate their internalisation and embodiment of knowledge.

• Identifying and analysing clients’ needs
• Perform research and generate technology-enabled concepts
• Communicate and present professionally to clients
• Critically reflect results and document development
