Content
This unit exposes you to the demands of professional practice by providing a framework for undertaking senior creative, technical or management positions within a learning environment. This final unit challenges you to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge gained in earlier units. You are required to work autonomously to meet production requirements to a professional standard, facilitating an effective transition into your chosen specialisation. In this unit you will undertake a senior production role in an industry setting, either with an external Deakin partner (school or venue) and/or on a Deakin Production.
