What can education and academic research do to develop screen industry curricula fit for multiple purposes?
The Screen Industries Growth Network (SIGN), in association with York St John University, presents Screen Industries Education: a curriculum for all purposes. This research seminar will address themes which have emerged in the preceding seminars that are relevant to the Yorkshire and Humber region.
Challenging industry conditions mean the demand for higher education far outstrips the number of jobs available locally and regionally. We will look at how media production and creative industries degree programmes can respond to industry-led requests for skills, whilst meeting quality benchmarks of degree programmes. We’ll also look at what can be done to develop an academic curricula that is fit for multiple purposes.
