The Bachelor of Performing Arts program aims to prepare graduates
who are competent to work in a variety of settings within the Arts
industry. The program aims, through an integrated approach to learning,
to provide students with a firm grounding across a broad range of
professional areas, with expertise in at least one of the areas
of study and a general appreciation and working knowledge of the
other facets of the arts involved in the program. Through individual
and group presentations students are able to work collaboratively with
other arts professionals. Students gain “real life” experience
through a series of workshops with professionals and professional
companies as well as seven weeks placement in the industry in each
of two years - Second and Third Year.
Program Structure
To satisfy the requirements of the award students must complete
24 courses or 144 units of credit as outlined below
Recommended Study Schedule:
The following schedule is designed for full-time students
who usually enrol in four courses per term (12 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 Spring/Summer Terms. Courses
such as Project/Placement could be arranged in discussion
with the Course Coordinator to be undertaken in this way.
