Course summary

The BA (Hons) Professional Development (Creative Industries), awarded by the University of Plymouth, develops your professional knowledge and skills to engage with methodologies and theories required to pursue a career in the creative industries. In your first year, you will initially study Theories and Methods. You will then be formed into multi-disciplinary teams, devising and carrying out a project that connects with a real work situation. The module concludes with you documenting your learning and its application. The second module, which will be delivered alongside the first module, will be specific to your subject area and will really help you advance in your chosen path. The second year starts with a module called Globalisation from a Regional Perspective. Within this module, you will understand the concepts and issues surrounding globalisation and consider its impact on our region. In the last two terms of the second year, you will make a choice between writing a dissertation and choosing another module called Work-based Applied Research Project. As implied in the title of this module, this is about you engaging with your subject sector, employing the new learning that you gained on the course.
