The placement occurs between the students' second and third years of undergraduate study. Students can engage in up to 3 placements to make up the total time and are required to source the placement(s) themselves with support from the Careers and Employability Team.

Year 1 will encourage you to explore and grow your existing creative activities alongside important foundational practical and interpretive skills. This is supported in topics such as audio recording and production, sound design, critical listening, and the exploration of the relationship between music and sound to picture. In Year 2 you’ll take your skills and creativity into the professional arena, with a series of guest lectures, and the opportunity to engage with external collaboration through an internship or industry placement. You’ll also be introduced to multimedia skills that will support your creation of powerful self-marketing and promotional tools. Finally Year 3 will see you focus on an industry-level optional pathway of your choice. This is combined with individual support in managing a larger scale creative project of your choice, which is offered as an alternative to a traditional dissertation.
