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 be a fast-paced, challenging experience that builds your skills in the key areas of performance, creativity and critical thinking. You’ll work on regular performance projects, creating solo, small group and large ensemble work.You will attend regular sessions with visiting companies and artists, this will help expand your understanding of the dance industry. In Year 2, you’ll stretch those creative and performance skills in exciting new directions, while a wide range of practical sessions will deepen your understanding of how performance work can be created for different contexts. The visiting guest artist will continue to provide you with inspirational workshops. Finally, Year 3 will see you focus on developing a specialist area, with modules to support the pathway that interests you, such as performance, choreography, teaching, and dance movement therapy. You’ll embark on a large scale performance project, as well as completing a work placement with a professional dance organisation. Please refer to our website for more information.

We’ll assess your work in a variety of ways such as practical performances, presentations, portfolios and essays. Practical projects may be assessed on your creative process, the final product or both.
