A number of work placements give students the opportunity to acquire in-depth, practical knowledge of the jobs and realities of the professional world. In addition, working alongside professionals from the Conservatoire during a compulsory 2-month work placement in the audiovisual department, engineering musicians perfect their artistic and technical skills and learn to work as part of a team in real-life conditions.

How authors' societies work, rights associated with recording, arranging, adapting or distributing musical works, structures linked to record production and audiovisual music production, types of contract: this series of lectures and meetings led by professionals will help students acquire the legal and financial fundamentals of their future profession.

Against a backdrop of profound change in the cultural industries, this series of meetings and lectures aims to present the ways in which music is produced, distributed and disseminated today, as well as the diversity of possible statutes, regimes and support schemes, so that the most appropriate can be chosen for each project. Through discussions with professionals who are committed to providing practical, concrete information, students explore the various stages involved in setting up a company or association, as well as the difficulties and skills required to get started.
