Module overview

Directed Study in Industry allows students to work with an institution, organisation or enterprise involved in the creative and cultural industries.

Students will identify an institution, organisation or enterprise in which to work as an unpaid intern. The internship must afford work or other practical experience in a field directly related to their programme of study. Students will identify a supervisor, who may facilitate the identification of potential institutions, organisations or enterprises. However, the responsibility for identifying internship sites will ultimately rest with students.

Students must register for ‘Directed Study in Industry’ at the beginning of Term 1 in the year in which they take the module. They must either register for an appropriate skills modules or demonstrate to the convenor of the module that they already have appropriate skills before embarking on this module.
