This subject offers students the opportunity to engage in work integrated learning through a professional placement or internship to prepare them for graduate employment.
A work placement, lasting a minimum of 10 days during their studies, either full-time or part-time provides work experience through which students apply their learning in a professional setting.
Students will complete an unpaid 10-day placement with an external dance or related arts organisation, and will be supervised by a member of staff at the university in collaboration with a designated person at the host organisation. They will work across a range of tasks relevant to the organisation's objectives, and develop and complete a specific independent project.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- research an independent project within a professional setting;
- demonstrate professional conduct and integrity in a workplace environment;
- contribute to a dance organization through meeting expected tasks and demonstrating initiative;
- articulate a professional identity as a dance artist.
