For Combined Honours UCAS codes and entry requirements
The programme encourages student development by allowing them to focus on making practice-based contemporary work in an environment that is supported by critical, reflective reading, writing and thinking. Students are challenged to consider what a contemporary performance could be for the new audiences of the twenty-first century.
Year 1 is foundational and explores a range of practical and critical approaches to performing arts. Year 2 is tutor-led, and students experience a wide range of performance elements, combining both theory and practice. Year 3 is almost entirely self-directed as it encourages choices between independent study, individual artistic practice, and professional work experience.
Facilities
The University is equipped with a new state-of-the-art performance building on campus, as well as dance studios and other performance spaces, and rehearsal studios. There is also a new TV studio, a Multimedia Centre containing music composition and video editing software. Depending on the options they select, students sometimes work in offcampus spaces or with streaming digital technologies.
