Module Overview:
In this module we are going to be focusing our attention on preparing you for employment in the sound related industries.
Sustaining a career in these challenging and competitive sectors requires a long-term perspective. Experience tells us that it takes tenacity, drive and a commitment to continuing professional development that extends far beyond the end of your degree studies. We hope to foster these principles in your own approach to professional life so that you can gain, and sustain, rewarding work in evolving industries.
Encouraging you to become more proactive in your exploration of industry is a key aim. We want you to become better able to identify opportunities in industry; we also want you to become better equipped to take advantage of these by planning 3rd year projects that will enable you to acquire the key skills and experience that industry demands.
We will present a number of sessions that more thoroughly explore key employment sectors in our field, including some sessions delivered by guest practitioners from industry. We will also endeavour to engage with graduates of the course to enable insight into the process of breaking into industry and establishing yourself, as well as building networking opportunities.
