Course summary

Our BA (Hons) Performance programme is designed to help you become a creative maker, critical thinker, and work ready. In your first year, you will be introduced to a range of practical skills and knowledge to help build your understanding of the fundamentals of making and studying performance. Your second year uses your new and established skills and strengths to learn to analyse and critically reflect on your practice and explore new approaches to what performance is and can be. Third year offers both continuing and Direct Entry students a range of opportunities to explore your own interests and specialisms, as a way of developing your own creative practice. Your final year is a culmination of your practical and critical learning, where you engage with student-led projects and industry mentors to serve as a strong foundation for entering your chosen career path. To enhance your learning, the programme also offers masterclasses with visiting artists, workshops with leading industry professionals, and partnerships with national and international arts organisations and venues, providing you with valuable networking and showcasing opportunities for you and your work.
