Teaching and Learning:
You are normally required to complete a placement, the minimum requirement for which is a 4 week 'short' placement. Successful completion of a short placement is a graduation requirement although students are encouraged to complete the short placement between years 2 and 3.
As an alternative to the short placement and with sufficient notice, you may undertake a 30-week 'sandwich' placement. The sandwich placement must take place between years 2 and 3 and be in the broad area of Film or Television Production.
To be allowed to proceed to year 3, you must:
- Complete a minimum of 30 weeks satisfactory work experience ('sandwich placement' students).
- Complete the placement logbook satisfactorily which may include assignments relating to the nature of your work and the organisation you are working in.
- Satisfactorily meet the performance criteria of the placement as determined by the completed assessment forms from the company and you.
The supervised work placement draws on some or all the modules studied on the first two years of the programme. It provides the opportunity for you to develop your abilities and demonstrate an understanding of Film Production and Cinematography and related subjects as well as providing a platform for successful entry into the profession following graduation.
