ELECTIVES
Third year students select two Elective Study units from a range offered by other ECU faculties. Students may select these electives from an approved list (which will cover key business management areas such as marketing, management, finance etc). Students will be able to apply to do an elective not on the list with the approval of the course coordinator. Students may claim exemptions from Elective Study units on the basis of other tertiary qualifications.
PRACTICUM
First year students will demonstrate their understanding of theory through staffing Front of House for WAAPA productions.
Second year students take on the management roles of Front of House and are also encouraged to become involved in community and professional activities.
Third year students in semester one are required to gain experience with professional companies.
In the final semester, students undertake their Industry Placement with a professional arts organisation. This is a full-time, ten week placement which is designed to synthesise theory and practice and to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills acquired over the previous five semesters. It also provides a transition period that is a practical preparation for the workforce.
