This course strengthens professional readiness while consolidating creative and technical skills. Core topics include CV and portfolio development, personal profiling across media, introductory business practice, copyright management and professional ethics. The wider music and media landscape is outlined with typical roles, workflows and delivery expectations.
Learning activities are organised around two modules. The first is a guided, multimodal portfolio that presents artistic identity and professional capability through selected works and concise documentation. The second is a group production project delivering two coordinated outcomes: a music product and a small media/film piece. Processes emphasise planning, role definition, voice and music recording/editing, synchronisation and basic post-production, delivery to stated specifications, and clear communication of musical and technical choices.
Compared with earlier project work, the emphasis is on reliability, quality control and client-ready standards: meeting genre conventions, fulfilling format requirements, and reflecting on individual performance within a team. The course supports methodical work habits, collaborative responsibility and professional presentation of results.
