| DESCRIPTION | The creation of a portfolio project which consists of the independent creation by a student of a practical project, applying skills learnt during the B.Communications (Hons) course. The running of a case study may also be offered as a project. Normally, a set of briefs related to any or all of the following subjects are given to the students in the final weeks of their B.Communications (Hons) course third year: photography, journalism, communicative design, marketing communications, audio and video production. Students are expected to choose two projects (MCS3920 and MCS3930) to carry out in the time stipulated by the Department. For each project, and under a separate cover, students need to provide a write-up of not more than 1000 words indicating how and why the expression was chosen for each of the two projects; the decision-making process that was experienced during production, and a critical appraisal (strength and weaknesses) of the final product.
