Artificial intelligence is used to provide&nbsp;computer systems with the ability to make decisions like a human. Computing also enables you&nbsp;to make a positive difference in this world and it will keep advancing. I would love to be&nbsp;working in an ever-growing industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This subject interests me as I am passionate about computers, I have built computers for&nbsp;family and friends. I found that to be fun and helpful as it helps me to understand a computer&nbsp;on a more technical side. I understand that having great analytical skills, problem solving&nbsp;skills, excellent math skills and many more are crucial. I am willing to expand and grow my&nbsp;skills to the next level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am suitable for this course as I have great attention to detail which will allow me to spot&nbsp;errors within work, I have basic coding skills. I am driven and willing to put in the work to&nbsp;obtain and further my knowledge of technical skills. such as programming, data analyzing and&nbsp;data visualization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;I have been studying Creative media at Bradford College for two years. This is my final year&nbsp;on the current course UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production and&nbsp;Technology. We learnt basic code to help us make a game with one level. This could help as I&nbsp;will have a basic understanding of code. We also do a lot of research for films that we&nbsp;create. We did the following for these pre-productions, presentations, distributing and&nbsp;promotional material such as posters. For games we did a similar thing but not as&nbsp;thorough&nbsp;unfortunately. I say this because I enjoyed working on games more than films. In my sound&nbsp;design studies we learnt about foley sounds, among other things this was completely new to me,&nbsp;I had a minuscule understanding of sound. I had no idea I would enjoy it later. We also did&nbsp;graphic design using photoshop. Our tutors got us to make promotional material for Deer Shed&nbsp;festival. Overall, I enjoyed this course as it allowed me to experiment in different fields as&nbsp;mentioned (Sound design, film, game design, and graphic design.) To find what I enjoy&nbsp;most. The&nbsp;transferable skills I have received from this course will&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my time in college, I was introduced to the software Fl studio. (Digital audio&nbsp;workstation) I very quickly became addicted to learning it and making music in my spare time.&nbsp;I remember during lockdown I would be on this software all night. One time I fell asleep while&nbsp;making a song with my laptop on me. I then woke up with Fl Studio in my face. I then started&nbsp;creating good music and have progressively improved my skills. Now my music is in stores such&nbsp;as iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music and many more. To tie in with my attention to detail during&nbsp;lockdown I picked up a new hobby and skill in detailing cars. I managed to restore my&nbsp;16-year-old car back to a factory finish using very comprehensive steps including&nbsp;decontaminating by using a clay bar and machine polishing. There are many intricacies&nbsp;involving that which I did not expect. but I found it fun learning a new skill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the future I would love to have a secure stable job in the computer science&nbsp;field.&nbsp;Possibly&nbsp;in&nbsp;programming with this course I could achieve this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While working on this unit it helped me identify what my next steps should be. I&nbsp;now have a great understanding of what an apprenticeship is and how they work. I&nbsp;now also know how universities work. Applying for courses, UCAS, personal&nbsp;statements, entry requirements and many more things such as living away from&nbsp;home. My tutors helped guide me in the direction I need to go to pursue my career&nbsp;goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found apprenticeships are interesting as they allow you to work and earn&nbsp;money as well as study. Before this course, my perception of university is its too&nbsp;expensive I&nbsp;can&#8217;t&nbsp;go there but after doing research and having conversations with&nbsp;career advisors\/student services&nbsp; I learnt that when you take out a student loan to&nbsp;pay for the course you only pay it back when you earn around \u00a325.000 a year.&nbsp;You&nbsp;will&nbsp;only need to pay 9% of your income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After&nbsp;this course&nbsp;I&#8217;m&nbsp;currently studying&nbsp;I am&nbsp;going to&nbsp;do an apprenticeship in IT. If that&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;work out, I&nbsp;will&nbsp;use my contingency plan and follow through with my&nbsp;UCAS&nbsp;and enroll to the&nbsp;university&nbsp;that accepted my&nbsp;application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progression Route Chart https:\/\/bradfordcollegeac-my.sharepoint.com\/:p:\/g\/personal\/10583599_bradfordcollege_ac_uk\/EZvNpBdhrWNOu6mA3c_S9zwB464R4wSYUv_K8jny812WNA?e=wpmHVv Investigation Of Skillset For Games https:\/\/bradfordcollegeac-my.sharepoint.com\/:p:\/g\/personal\/10583599_bradfordcollege_ac_uk\/EeLKKLfJCuJHojBsx7X3KKUB2VWpFaeVrXBMqb2rYvp3gg?e=WwChup CV https:\/\/bradfordcollegeac-my.sharepoint.com\/:w:\/g\/personal\/10583599_bradfordcollege_ac_uk\/EaHFk4LrSMhNlPq7BcbW7m8BqQJWrw1q-KtAb_dJS8jyuQ?e=JmKBE1 Apprenticeship Research https:\/\/bradfordcollegeac-my.sharepoint.com\/:p:\/g\/personal\/10583599_bradfordcollege_ac_uk\/EZ_u8yqogstLmBmYbSmWvDIBmk8g-TWS_WFjvSTHQtC_2w?e=Huj8wj Research Into A Creative Agency I&#8217;d Like To Work For https:\/\/bradfordcollegeac-my.sharepoint.com\/:p:\/g\/personal\/10583599_bradfordcollege_ac_uk\/ES6X5HvjjppFixpS0_soiVoBAQ3uHAmao8JV6Uijt6y6DA?e=cmpI0W Interview Do&#8217;s And Don&#8217;ts https:\/\/bradfordcollegeac-my.sharepoint.com\/:p:\/g\/personal\/10583599_bradfordcollege_ac_uk\/EYYY4-IRbo1Hg5pl2jAHEW8BJZbVngaoAp0ck0QmDW_2fw?e=pTBxcn Investigation Of Video Game Production Team https:\/\/bradfordcollegeac-my.sharepoint.com\/:w:\/g\/personal\/10583599_bradfordcollege_ac_uk\/EY9Pwq1XEP9OtyyYX11ULAwB4u093S_uHawjaDxmlO0OUQ?e=eBeEKK In the screenshots below you can see that I have filled out a direct application form to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10583599\/progression-unit\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Progression Unit&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":160,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-257","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10583599\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10583599\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10583599\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10583599\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/160"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10583599\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10583599\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":323,"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10583599\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/257\/revisions\/323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10583599\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
