Rationale

In order to plan entry into the arts industry discipline of their area of expertise, or to plan for post-graduate pathways of study, graduand students need to develop a sound and comprehensive macro understanding of the structures, protocols and processes of their intended sector. Depending on their intended pathway of progression, graduand students may need to develop a working understanding of principles of business practice, of professional representation, and/or options for post-graduate study.

Synopsis

Students enrolled in this course will be mentored by staff from their specific disciplines in developing business, entrepreneurial and strategic knowledge for effective and sustainable entry into their intended career or post-graduate pathway. Students may negotiate to complete industry entry-level work or complete an industry secondment as a part of the work necessary to complete assessment requirements for this course. The culmination of this course requires students to compile a professional portfolio that effectively represents their work, capabilities and professional standards and qualities as a resource for their entry into professional or post-graduate practice.

Objectives

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. critically examine the practice, languages, forms, materials, technologies and techniques in their creative arts discipline (TLO1);
  2. produce a professional portfolio that may be assessed at the end of a degree (TLO3);
  3. present a clear, coherent and independent exposition of knowledge and ideas relevant to their specific field of practice (TLO4);
  4. develop, research and evaluate ideas, concepts and processes through creative, critical and reflective thinking and practice (TLO2);
  5. work independently and collaboratively in devising, planning and producing a body of work exemplifying professional standards of practice and outcomes (TLO5);
  6. recognise and reflect on social, cultural and ethical issues, and apply local and international perspectives to practice in the Creative Arts discipline of their choice (TLO6).
