This unit is designed to offer Humanities students a valuable insight into how their subject(s) of specialism interface with the public: how they are produced, presented and consumed.
The unit revolves around a placement in a local school, museum, gallery or other organisation. Students will engage in a project related to the placement tasks/projects that explores their subject in practice - the relationship between their subject and the public eye. Students will also complete a reflective journal that relates to employability, transferrable skills, and the concept of knowledge transfer.
Successful students will be able to:
Weekly:
1 x 2-hour Seminar, 1 x 1-hour seminar
2,000 word project, related to the placement tasks/project or equivalent to be agreed with their supervisor (70%) [ILOs 1-3]
Reflective journal, related to employability skills and knowledge transfer. The specific content and structure of the journal will depend on the individual placement, and will thus be agreed between the student, the partner contact/organisation and the unit co-ordinator (30%). [ILOs 3-5]
