| DESCRIPTION | The study-unit provides students with hands-on experience and direct insights in diverse work environments related to art/architectural history subjects. The study-unit seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical art history studies with direct personal engagement in work-based environments in both the public and private sector. Various placements have been identified within both the private and public sector and various NGOs which are actively involved in on-going restoration and conservation projects and also policy-oriented and permitting-type work experiences. The students are expected to be independent, self-disciplined and demonstrate perseverance and commitment to derive maximum benefit from their placement. Each student is expected to record his or her experience in the form of a reflective diary and also to deliver a short presentation to their fellow students. Study-unit Aims: - To expose students to practical applications in the local work environment related to art/architectural history subject matter. - To provide students with a range of employment opportunities and potential areas for further specialization. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - identify practical applications and translate and apply his/her art/architectural historical studies to practical work assignments; - be familiar with a range of diverse employment opportunities in art-historical related studies; - better understand applied work in the field of art /architecture conservation issues. 2.
