: ACE-3-ACEPLace The work placement is designed to give students experience of applying and developing their knowledge and skills on real projects for host organisations involved in the visual arts or built heritage in or near Edinburgh. The actual work may vary considerably from placement to placement and may range from intensive, workplace-based activity over semester one, followed by report-writing in semester 2, to research-based work paced over the academic year to suit both the host and the student The specifics of any placement are based on a 'learning agreement' agreed by the student, the supervisor and the host organisation. This outlines the placement activity, it explains what is expected of all three parties and it defines an academically-related project that will form the core of the student's report. The placement activity is supplemented by support from academic staff in a combination of class meetings and/or individual supervision as appropriate to the particular placement. An initial meeting explains the practical arrangements for the placement and the assessed work. It also includes a contribution from the University Careers Service. A second meeting is held to review progress and discuss problems and experiences. A final meeting provides guidance on the production of the report. The assessed output is the work placement report. It consists of three elements: a discussion of the context of the work (10%); a self-appraisal, assessing what the student has learned on the placement (15%); and a report on the academically-related project (75%), totalling 8,000-10,000 words in length. In more research-orientated placements, this section will be the research report supplied to the host organisation. Progress will be monitored via the second meeting and also by a series of deadlines for interim reports. The final report will be submitted by an agreed date in semester 2. Two copies of the report must be handed in. Entry Requirements ? This course is not available to visiting students.
