For the purposes of considering request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Cwth 2005), and Student Support and Engagement Policy, academic requirements for this subject are articulated in the Subject Overview, Learning Outcomes, Assessment and Generic Skills sections of this entry.

It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study, and reasonable adjustments will be made to enhance a student’s participation in the University’s programs. Students who feel their disability may impact on meeting the requirements of this subject are encouraged to discuss this matter with a Faculty Student Adviser and the Disability Liaison Unit: http://www.services.unimelb.edu.au/disability/.

In this subject students undertake a major design project. They will be required to put into practice virtually all the skills and knowledge they have developed in the program up to date. The resulting design project will require a high level of creativity, problem-solving, as well as detailed planning including budgeting and scheduling. They will need to outline how they would address OHS and minimalise the environmental impact of their design. Students will propose their own unique project which, where possible, will include collaboration with Film and Television School students by taking on a leadership role in the realisation of an actual film project.

On completion of this subject students should be able to
• Develop design solutions for a major project with real-life constraints
• Document their designs to a professional standard
• Effectively operate in a leadership role within an Art Department
