LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students who successfully complete the 2ECTS version of the course should be able to:
- Demonstrate familiarity with a variety of examples across a broad continuum of research through art and design practices including artistic research, practice-led and -based research approaches
- Demonstrate an ability to connect and critically discuss across the examples including some common issues pertinent to all forms of research
- Critically articulate their understanding of the relation of artistic research to conventional research paradigms

Students who successfully complete the 4ECTS version of the course should also be able to:
- Articulate a critical comprehension of more specific approaches (including artistic and -based research, practice-led and -based research) between theory and art and design practices
- Demonstrate an ability to motivate, integrate and apply this comprehension to their own research (or research plan).
