📚About the Program

The professionalisation of the performing arts has been a national priority for the sector for the last few years. This multi and interdisciplinary undergraduate programme responds to this priority and gives learners the opportunity to work hands-on in creative environments through joint collaboration with industry stakeholders to manage and produce performing arts projects for both artistic and commercial practices. According to their chosen study-area/s (management; performance – acting, dance, music; technical – light, sound; design – costumes, set/props) learners acquire a broad range of skills and techniques focusing on performing arts productions, through critical analysis, research and practical assignments. In their final year, learners are given the opportunity to research and develop their own individual practice. Show less
