Realistic Work Experiences

ceth Realistic Working Experiences offer a range of opportunities for students to develop and recognise their employability skills.  These include Publishing, Media Production, Museums and Exhibitions and Drama and Events.  RWEs share an ethos of active learning and have been carefully designed to support the development of practical skills and experience whilst offering insights into particular career paths of interest to humanities, social science and creative arts students. 

Learning through RWEs is a distinctive process.  By drawing together subject expertise with the ceth Employability Framework for the development and assessment of employability skills, the learning experience of students is enriched.  The synergy, resulting from the interface between ceth and subject areas, contributes to both deeper discipline understanding and employability. This process can be applied across a wide range of subject areas/disciplines and with students who have a wide range of creative and technical abilities.

Former ceth modules

Introduction to Digital Storytelling - EE1301
This module gave students the knowledge and understanding of how digital storytelling is  used effectively as a communication tool. With the help of an experienced communications tutor, students were encouraged to consider what works effectively in this new medium, and to create their own digital story.

Introduction to Radio Production - EE1302
Using a top quality radio mixing desk and computerised editing facilities, students were involved in the production of a short piece for radio. Students learnt recording, editing and mixing techniques and were given an insight into how the radio industry works and the history of radio broadcasting. Students learnt about Radio’s role within the media sector, and researched the potential job market in this field along with producing a 3-5 minute radio feature as part of a small group. 

Managing an Art House Cinema - EE2301
Students gained practical experience of management of the Art House cinema and the planning of its development.  Through personal research and small group team-planning students  devised, costed and promoted a screened event. This module offered a superb opportunity to gain practical experience of cinema management and undertake real work experience in a very competitive employment sector.
