Project studies 4 (5 cr)

Objective

The students can apply and deepen their versatile competencies in live performance engineering. They can develop their technical competencies by working in projects or productions. The students master technical wholes and their applications in professional live performance activity. They understand the technical, live performance related and organizational challenges in live performance engineering. The develop their competencies to act as experts in technological-artistic processes and in management of production processees. They can plan their work, produce technical documentation related to the professional field and report their activities in projects. The students can make decisions in unexpected situations and act in a customer-oriented way. They can adapt their activities in order to achieve long-term goals.

Content

Project studies consist of the development and reflective assessment of key professional skills:
- project management skills
- interaction skills
- technical planning
- versatile competencies in live performance engineering
