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 give you the necessary foundation knowledge of all technical theatre, production arts and stage management disciplines. While some people know what career path they wish to follow from the start of the course, others explore the possibilities, as they discover and develop skills in new areas of interest. In Year 2 you’ll work on productions, undertaking a variety of production-based roles in a variety of backstage departments. These will either be in an area of your interest, or in an area that the staff team feel that you would benefit from engaging in. You’ll also build your skills and knowledge by choosing two skills pathways alongside Health & Safety and Production Process core modules. Year 3 - Professional Placement Year. Final Year will see you become a member of OnSet Productions, specialise in areas that are your particular strengths and interests, and undertake a professional work placement of at least four weeks duration. Please refer to our website for more information.

You’ll be assessed by coursework including practical work, presentations, evaluations, group projects, individual reports and written assignments. There are no written exams.
