This Performing Arts Table, previously known as the Arts, Drama & Music League Table, is free-standing and cannot be conflated with the main University League Table. The use of z-scores and subject mix make the two tables discrete and incompatible (even though they share a methodology). The methodology for the Performing Arts Table is the same as the Main Table except that, in order to qualify for inclusion, a provider must have at least 50% of their undergraduate intake in one or more of the following subjects: cinematics & photography, performing arts (non-specific), music, drama, and dance.
