Your Professional Project is the culmination of your creative and practical work on the course. Through research, planning and drawing on all of the skills and knowledge you have acquired throughout the course you have an opportunity to develop and produce the practical work required to the highest professional standard. This will be evidenced in the form of professional quality work, displayed in an appropriate way for employment or progression to further study. The work will also be displayed in the end-of-course exhibition. The project thus not only draws together your creative and practical knowledge and skills, but also presents your best possible work to a public and professional audience.
