This semester, we covered Professional Practice, focusing on the skills needed to work in the design industry. It included lectures and projects on employability, freelancing, workplace readiness, and presenting ideas effectively. We also explored industry practices, business support, and developed a pitch presentation to strengthen entrepreneurial thinking. This module benefited me by preparing me for placement opportunities, improving how I communicate my ideas, and giving me confidence to approach future professional settings.
