Top 3 Pros of a Creative Industries degree
＃1：很棒的网络机会
内奥米告诉我们a defining characteristic of the Bachelor of Creative Industries degree at QUT is它在网络和获得专业联系上的价值。
她解释说：“您在该学位上遇到了很多人。另外，所有正在教您其他人的人。您要与之相处的队列，他们毕业后也将成为您的创意专业人士- 因此，重要的是它们也是您网络的一部分。”
你有它。正如Naomi建议的那样在活动中，与教师和客座讲师一起利用专业的网络机会but don’t neglect making connections with your peers too!
几年来，你们都将在劳动力中加入，您永远不会知道，也许您未来的电影将需要一位毕业的时装设计师。
＃2：学位的灵活性
“The second pro would definitely be flexibility.您可以涉足所有内容。如果您不是特定行业的人，那么能够实验真是太好了，”娜奥米说。
This is a great part of the Creative Industries degree —not only is it an extremely broad discipline but your course format can be tailored to meet your own interests.你有很多机会选择multiple majors, pick different minors or broaden your horizons even further with elective options — the world is your oyster.
娜奥米告诉我们，她不仅被教了各种各样的内容，而且还她还必须在没有学习的领域进行实验。
“即使我在那里，我帮助了谁在时尚和戏剧中以及类似的事情，所以这给了我探索的机会。这不像医学，如果您正在学习医学，那么您正在学习医学。”她解释说。
#3: Immersive experience
“The third pro would be您学到了多少。您通过学位学到了很多东西，但是您也可以从周围的每个人那里学到很多东西。It’s a very immersive experience — probably more immersive than potentially other degrees. It can kind of be what you want it to be,” Naomi told us.
在您整个学位涵盖的材料之上，您还将在专业和实用的情况下获得丰富的经验，以便您可以建立简历和投资组合。QUTis one of the few universities that offer the Creative Industries program so you can be sure to gain the knowledge and experience that will be perfect for a future position.
在您的最后一年，you’ll also be required to take two Work Integrated Learning (WIL) classes to hone in on your practical skills.这是QUT的绝佳机会，因为该机构有很多有价值的行业合作伙伴Starlight儿童基金会澳大利亚，布里斯班开放日，澳大利亚气候行动，世界科学节和零排放之外的澳大利亚父母。
Top 3 Cons of a Creative Industries degree
#1: Unconventional work life
“如果您是一个焦虑或担心财务安全的人，那么进入创意产业可能不是最好的选择,” Naomi told us.
就像您的学位一样，创意产业非常广泛，涵盖了许多专业。在创意产业中没有工作是一样的。
有时您会工作不一致的时间 - 其他时候您会不停地工作。这完全取决于您为谁工作，正在做的项目以及您扮演的角色。
Naomi added, “我们越来越多地朝着投资组合职业发展，这基本上没有9到5，但是从事很多项目和类似的事情。这并不是说您不能在创意产业中过上美好的生活，而是要说这是一个不同的结构。”
虽然这种结构确实意味着being comfortable with uncertainties，这也意味着您将不断地做不同的事情。您永远不会在创意产业的职位上感到鸽子或无聊。
＃2：时间承诺
Naomi向我们解释说，作为创意产业的QUT学士学位，您将必须准备花费大量时间完成所有工作。On top of your coursework, lectures and tutorials, you’ll also be needing to complete your Work Integrated Learning subjects.
It’s important to understand this commitment because它很多，需要正确的心态才能使其正常工作。
“The second con is something that I have definitely struggled with.这一切都是关于学位以外的时间。因此，我做了两项综合学习学科的工作 -I did over 500 hours of volunteer work throughout my degree，”娜奥米说。
She added, “The hours outside of uni and all of the opportunities that you’re willing to take are really importantand if you’re not prepared to do that, which some people aren’t, for financial or other reasons, then be prepared that it might not have the best outcomes for you.”
Naomi还解释了with COVID-19 throwing everything off, it was hard to not feel discouraged by not beginning work straight away— especially after hundreds of hours of experience.
“显然，这是一个非常特殊的场合，但是我做了所有这些小时，因此我可以参加布里斯班市议会等活动，因为我和他们一起做了100个小时。当我去申请时，Covid命中了，因此创意产业是第一个受到重大影响的行业。”
#3: All or nothing networking
“这类似于专业人士，但是如果您不网络，您注定要失败。不是在抑郁的意义上，而是要找到一份工作，您必须依靠您认识的人,” Naomi told us.
因此，您走了 - 双向采取。如果您愿意采取主动权并结识新朋友并尝试新的机会，那么您就会得到解决。另一方面，如果您不增强网络，毕业后，搜索工作将非常困难。
创意产业是每个人都认识所有人的领域之一。It’s a tight knit group and you’re going to need all of the help and support you can get, so go meet people!
有遗憾吗？
“我不这么认为。我认为，如果我从来没有这样做，我将一直想学习创意产业，”娜奥米说。
她告诉我们，尽管上面列出了缺点，尽管她的一部分希望学习动画，但她对在QUT的经历感到非常满意作为未成年人。
“I did a lot of visual arts, I still draw and paint, which is why, if anything, probably my only regret would be not doing Animation.我本来会全职从事动画，但由于未成年and I wouldn’t get to meet as many people as I probably would have wanted to.”
拿俄米告诉我们,虽然动画看起来像个great option,她很清楚她的娱乐行业专业的专业使她有更多的网络机会并与其他创意者建立联系。
What do you wish you had known before starting the degree?
Like we mentioned before, the Bachelor of Creative Industries, and most other degrees for that matter, depend a lot on your state of mind.他们需要很多承诺，奉献精神，最重要的是时间。
内奥米告诉我们她希望她知道这些事情，或者至少被意识到了大联盟的承诺这样她就会知道要再照顾自己一点。
“我唯一要说的是，我只是希望我知道有多少个小时可以投入其中，然后也许更多地了解自我护理以及如何更好地资助 - 所有这些事情。因此，我仍然可以做到这一点，只是不符合心理健康的代价。”她解释说。
所以，这是您提醒您洗澡，休息并与朋友保持联系的因此，您永远不会对Uni压力感到不知所措。
This is also a good time to mention that not everyone has the same experience at uni. In fact, you could have a totally opposite experience to Naomi.也许她不喜欢的东西，你会喜欢的！这是超级依赖这个人的，但是Naomi对自己的选择感到非常满意。
What makes this degree different from the ones offered at other universities?
幸运的是，Naomi是回答这个问题的理想人选。She’s a proud QUT supporter and was ready to hit us with her thoughts.
“当我看时，最初QUT是提供一般创意产业学位的唯一学位。QUThas the most contacts with creative practitioners in Brisbane.因此，对我来说，我能够与布里斯班市议会踏上脚步，因为QUT已经与他们建立了关系。” Naomi解释说。
Not only does QUT work with valuable industry partners that are going to assist you in gaining practical experience and enhancing your network, butyou’ll also have access to great facilities and resources.
Naomi补充说：“有舞蹈工作室，时尚制片厂，动画工作室- 一切都在您的指尖。因此，我绝对会推荐QUT对其他所有内容。还，如果您想进入不同的学科，有很多机会可用。”
作为QUT创意产业学士学位的学生，您还可以访问QUT的新创意产业区，该区域设有许多性能空间，音乐工作室和视觉美术馆so you can be sure of being supported by professional facilities.
是什么促使您选择这个学位？
娜奥米（Naomi）告诉我们，在她意识到自己有多喜欢创意产业的活动和活动类型之后，she wanted to give it a go for herself.
“At the time, my partner was in a band and was studying music so I was getting really involved. I’d be the door girl at gigs around Brisbane and things like that.我一直很喜欢布里斯班的创意夜生活，我真的很想尝试一下。我也一直感谢事件的动手性质，因为它是潜在的职业机会，” Naomi explained.
Naomi knew thatshe wanted a profession down a creative avenue and so choosing a university came down to finding the one that would best support her, professionally and creatively。QUT恰好是那种选择。
可能的职业道路是什么？
Your future profession is going to depend heavily on your majorwhich is great since you have such a huge variety to choose from at QUT. You could become ascreenwriter or a novelist或下一个顶部fashion designer呢确实，有很多选择，这个学位将建立出色的基础。
无论您决定追求什么，QUT的创意产业学士学位将教授基本的创意技能和理论知识有资格担任创意和艺术领域内部或之外的任何位置！
