Spring teaching

On this module, you'll experience working in the creative industries with our partners at Brighton Festival.

You'll work closely with a specific team:

• technical production coordination
• programming and participation
• fundraising, operations and sustainability
• marketing.

By working alongside the festival team, you'll make a genuine contribution to its activities and gain a detailed understanding of a particular area of working within the creative industries. You'll also benefit from regular tutorials from Sussex staff, giving you the opportunity to reflect on your progress.
