Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Required Prior Study
You should have satisfactorily completed Major Project A MANU1459 before you commence this course.
Alternatively, you may be able to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge before you start this course.
Contact your course coordinator if you think you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning.
Course Description
Major project forms part of two courses: Major Project A and Major Project B
This course will enable you to engage in a project based on an issue relating to your professional context. It is designed as a capstone experience to enable you to synthesise and integrate knowledge, connect theory and practice as well as demonstrate holistic achievement of program learning outcomes.
You will identify, gather and utilise data and information to respond to a problem, need or industry issue. You will creatively explore real-world issues, simulating the role of policy worker in the professional practice context.
The course provides an opportunity for you to more deeply investigate a particular area of professional practice in the field.
It may be possible for you to align your project with your professional work if you are already employed in the industry. This needs to be approved by the course coordinator.
Major Project B is designed to refine and expand your academic knowledge and capabilities by undertaking an investigative project in your chosen field of study. The outcomes of the project will enable you to gain advanced knowledge and experience in a specialised area of your relevant program. With your self directed learning you will also demonstrate initiative, judgement and creative approaches that will enhance your future career direction.
This course guide covers two programs in the School of Fashion and Textiles:
Bachelor of Fashion (Merchandise Management)
Bachelor of Fashion (Design Technology)
This course includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:
a) Problem solve effectively in a fashion and textiles enterprise.
b) Apply sustainable practices related to fashion and textiles issues.

CLO1. Undertake an investigation relevant to the project proposal.
CLO2. Analyse and apply the project findings.
CLO3. Articulate the project findings to peers and industry stakeholders.
Overview of Learning Activities
The project will require you to undertake an extensive literature search, data collection and consultation with industry experts. The project will be carried out largely by your own initiative under the direct supervision of an academic and/or industry mentor. You will be required to prepare a report and present your findings.
The course is taught in a combination of theory and practical workshops.
You will receive industry feedback on your learning activities and/or assessment tasks.
