THE BACHELOR OF RECORDING ARTS - Level Two Studies Summary
Level Two contains two Modules RA 203: Industry Perspectives, Issues and Research Techniques, and 204: Cultural Perspectives, that
incline more to the development of ideas, academic facility and integrity, and professional perspectives.
Module 203: Industry Perspectives, Issues, and Research Techniques, is an academically rigorous module requiring students to examine
critically the structural antecedents of the contemporary industry, the range of problems and operational issues confronting industry
leaders, and to relate these to the general concerns and issues facing the creative industries.
Through analysis and discussion students are encouraged to speculate on possible future directions of the creative industries – both nationally and
internationally. The module is also designed to further develop information gathering skills and investigative attitudes, critical analysis abilities
and reliable reporting techniques aimed at equipping students to make convincing project proposals and to be effective self-critics.
Module 204: Cultural Perspectives is aimed at providing aesthetic foundations and creative perspectives to contemporary creative efforts by
examining a range of current industry activities.
THE BACHELOR OF RECORDING ARTS - Level Three Studies Summary
The third and final level of this programme is distinguished by its emphasis on advanced technological skills, mature and insightful creative
activities, academic excellence, and by a thoughtful mix of class activities and guided self-directed learning. To accommodate these important
characteristics, the number of assessment items has been reduced, relative to earlier Levels. Consequently, the expectation is that each item will
demonstrate, at a high level, a balanced and well-integrated synergy between cognitive abilities and practical skills, between the theoretical
frameworks and the practical applications.
The main feature of Level Three is the Research Project (Module 303) through which students are able to demonstrate the extent and cohesiveness of their
technological skills and academic abilities, and to provide a clear indication of their readiness to move into the professional work setting or further academic
study. It provides the opportunity for each student to develop their own creativity and research in an area of particular professional or academic interest to
them. The Research Project should be the focal point of activities and should draw from and feed into the requirements of the other Level Three Modules.
The other Modules can reinforce and provide support for the Research Project by providing opportunities for advanced technological studies, of hardware and
software, which are important to the proper execution of the project.
The organisation and delivery of these ‘high end’ technological studies will be negotiated between students and the Program Coordinator to ensure the best
possible synergy. Studies in the vital support areas such as Marketing and Intellectual Property can be directly applicable to the nature and potential of the
Research Project. Students are encouraged to take full advantage of this opportunity to legally ‘protect’ their project via the relevant copyright processes and
to explore its business and commercial options. In that general context they are also encouraged to examine possible commercial opportunities in the very broad
field of edutainment - a sub-set inside the even larger field of infotainment.

influencing the industry and the wider community. This module explores contemporary issues in ways that encourage students to take an active part in
professional dialogue.
Contemporary Issues:
This component of the program is also aimed at providing aesthetic foundations and creative perspectives regarding design, story-telling, cultural ideas and
techniques of expression.
