Content scheduling

The course runs throughout the autumn, spring, and summer semesters. Students will participate in practical event work according to the schedules of the assigned or approved events, which may take place during weekdays, evenings, or weekends. Some events require pre-event preparations, on-site duties, and post-event tasks on consecutive days. Details of each event will be announced in advance, including dates, locations, and assigned roles. Attendance in assigned event shifts is compulsory. Any missed shifts must be compensated by completing equivalent hours in other approved events during the same academic year.

To pass, students must complete at least 100 hours of approved practical event work, submit a written reflective report, and meet the agreed learning objectives.
