The Bachelor of Performing Arts (Specialisation) is a flexible program with a number of specialisation options, preparing graduates who are competent to work in a variety of settings within the Arts industry. The program aims to provide students with a firm grounding across a broad range of professional areas, with expertise in at least one of the performing arts discipline areas depending on their specialisation. The program provides the opportunity to specialise in music or pursue a multidisciplinary approach with training in dance, drama and music. Those wishing to tailor a program with an emphasis on their own particular interest may take a generic strand.

To qualify for the award of Bachelor of Performing Arts (Specialisation) students must complete a total of 24 courses, 144 units of credit. The schedule is designed for full-time students who usually enrol in 4 courses per term (24 units of credit). Part-time students should, therefore, modify the schedule to meet their own needs - observing all pre and co-requisite requirements. Students may ‘fast track' their study by undertaking specific courses which may be offered in Term 3. Courses such as Industry Placement can be arranged in discussion with the Course Coordinator to be undertaken this way.
