The course will enable students to gain professional experience through engaging in supervised work placement and performances in a range of music industry activities. This may involve working at a National Cultural Institution, working in an arts management placement, participation in a major cultural event, sound design for an industry function and studio teaching activity. A detailed outline for each project will be developed by the coordinating staff member in conjunction with the industry partner. A learning contract will be developed and agreed to by the coordinating staff member, the student and the industry partner. |
| Learning Outcomes | Students will be able to demonstrate skills that can be applied to a range of professional environments within the music industry. The student will have enhanced their professional practice portfolio and be able to clearly demonstrate associated employability skills. |
| Indicative Assessment | Each student will be required to maintain a journal of their project and develop a project summary that will be added to their Professional Practice Portfolio. Assessment criteria will be developed that are relevant to the project being undertaken. These criteria will be documented in a course outline, agreed to by all parties and will be the basis of the final assessment of the project. |
| Workload | The course will be delivered in a variety of modes. The mode will be determined by the coordinating staff member and will reflect the professional requirements of the project. In the case of a placement in a cultural institution or a teaching placement it may be for a full semester. If it relates to a specific cultural or industry project it will most commonly be in intensive mode. |
