"modules": "Overall, the programme favours active learning approaches such as practical sessions, seminars and workshop activities, discussions and problem-solving activities rather than a more transmission-based approach focused on lectures and note-taking. However, within this overarching approach, there are differences between individual modules and between levels. The primary aims of Level 4 will be to motivate and engage first-year students with the study of Illustration for Comics in practice to provide a sufficiently broad experience. The delivery is designed to provide students with a firm platform to successfully meet the progressive demands of Level 5 studies and support progression to level 6 of an honours degree.",
