Course Information

This optional placement year provides you with the opportunity to identify, apply for, and secure professional experience, normally comprising one to three placements over a minimum of nine months. Successful completion of this module will demonstrate your ability to secure and sustain graduate-level employment.

The course is very broad in its scope, allowing you to experiment, practise, discover new skills and develop strengths. There's also room for safe failure; we encourage you to learn from your mistakes while training in order to reflect on your practice and processes.

You'll work on public productions in a range of regional venues and gain further experience through skills development and professional work placement opportunities.

You'll document your development throughout the course so that you can see how far you've grown as a professional. Our aim is that you’ll graduate with the skills and contacts you need to thrive in this challenging yet rewarding industry.
