Industry Provision
What makes LSA unique is our collaborative partnership with Industry practitioners. We offer masterclasses, practical workshops, industry weeks, work experience, internships, career guidance and a pathway into the industry for all our students.
Masterclasses
From Runners to Directors, SFX Makeup Artists, Sound Mixers and Character Designers - every week at LSA you will get to ask your burning questions to industry professionals. Attending the weekly masterclasses are a compulsory part of the curriculum at LSA, providing you with insights and tips you might not otherwise find out. Masterclasses allow you to hear from the people behind student films, short films, TV shows and blockbuster franchises! Masterclasses are co-hosted by students and you will have the opportunity to sign-up to host one when you join us!
If you work in the industry and are interested in coming in to speak to students about your experiences behind the screens, get in touch with the Industry Team.
Work Experience
When you are in Year 2, you are encouraged to undertake work experience with one of LSA’s Industry Partners. There are a huge variety of opportunities available, ranging from one day to two weeks, making sure you get first-hand experience of the industry and gain on-the-job learning. LSA’s Work Experience programme covers a wide range of sectors such as TV, Feature Films, Commercials, Animation and Music Videos. Whilst this is not compulsory, we will support you and encourage you to take on work experience as it is an integral part of the LSA experience.
If you work in the industry and are interested in coming in to speak to students about your experiences behind the screens or are interested in offering work experience, get in touch with the Industry Team.
Mentoring
When you are in Year 2, you will be offered the opportunity to apply for the LSA Mentorship programme, working with an industry mentor across a five month period. LSA’s Mentoring Programme is designed to develop your professionalism, help you gain key career advice, increase your understanding of the industry and build your confidence and communication skills. This is also an amazing opportunity to build your network of industry contacts - some students have even secured full time employment after they graduate through their mentors! Mentoring is key to the LSA experience and we will encourage you to sign-up when you reach the second year.
