PG Certificate: Extended Work-Based Project

The Extended Work-Based Project is a significant and in-depth critical enquiry into an aspect of practice. This Certificate is a year-long course and is largely based upon independent study. It is broadly akin to a traditional masters research project. Although based on independent study, it is supported by some taught and face-to-face sessions. Participants are allocated a supervisor and will receive dedicated supervision meetings and support.  

Course Organiser: Dr Shereen Benjamin

Teaching structure

• Twilight and/or Saturday taught sessions
