This year long single module is designed to equip level 6 students with the tools they require in order to apply for work after leaving university. It also helps them understand the marketplace they are about to enter and the nature of the work available to them

The module requires students to reflect on their existing skillset and to consider this in light of emerging technological changes, identifying areas of strength and weakness and devising a plan for future development.  Students are also required to design and build their own promotional website and to evidence research into both the market place and potential employers.  As part of their preparation for work students will, in addition to creating their web site, produce a showreel, update their CV and undertake mock job interviews.

A student passing this module should be able to:

1. Critically reflect and systematically reference a wide range of textual and visual information from a variety of sources
2. Comprehensively understand the importance of design issues relating to format, layout and navigation
3. Critically evaluate their learning development throughout the degree formalizing relevant information into a personal skillset
4. Professionally construct and update a website, including portfolio showreel, for use in interview and self-promotion.
5. Confidently use an authoring programme and be able to upload independently in case of future changes to the portfolio CV
6. Confidently approach prospective employers with a completed CV portfolio, online showreel and interview skills
