Placements and work experience in the creative industries

Getting 'work experience' is easy, isn't it?  Just turn on your camera, your amp, or your design software and create something incredible...

But the real working world is increasingly competitive, and the kind of skills and experience you need to stand out as an employee or succeed in self-employment involve many different transferable abilities. It also helps if you have a contact or two in the creative industries, who already see your potential.

As one of our undergraduates, you'll likely have the chance to seek a work placement on one of our work experience modules or optional placement year, but even if you don't, you'll discover many opportunities to gain crucial experience, skills and exposure through industry-led activities such as live briefs and commissions.
