Symposium Programme 

As the NTFS Rethinking Final Year Projects and Dissertations project enters its final phase this symposium will explore what project has discovered, showcase a number of creative honours projects, and provide a forum to explore key issues facing creative honours projects and the dissertation in the 21st Century. The symposium will be an interactive fun event stimulated by a few short talks from experts and with plenty of opportunities for discussion.

We are offering this conference free of charge, including refreshments and lunch, to both internal and external delegates, but because of that places are restricted on a first come basis. However, delegates who register but do not attend on the day will be charged £25.
