The graded unit is a piece of work that will showcase my skills that I have attained whilst studying the HND course and it will present my knowledge of the music business to the best of my ability. With this piece of work, it should open a lot of doors as a future employee to the music industry.
The graded unit project consists of a project and an interview that will take place with someone, whether that is an employer or someone who has had a consistent role in the area that you are presenting about.

I will also have to complete a dated logbook that will show a timeline of my progress during the process of completing the graded unit. My grade will be judged on the overall product and what amount of time I have taken to complete this task.
