Progression Routes

This course is designed to be both an exciting and a relevant learning experience for students, and the combination of both theoretical and practical knowledge is essential for a world in which performance is increasingly using mixed approaches. In both popular and classical culture, performances commonly use a variety of independent media: dance, film/video, sound, scenography, text, in conjunction with digital/computer based technologies.

Careers that could be considered by graduates include:

  • Acting for Theatre, TV and Film
  • Interdisciplinary Performance Artist
  • Stage Management
  • Outreach Drama worker/workshop leader
  • Education Officer
  • Teacher



Alternatively, you may choose to continue your studies with an M.A. Digital Performance or a PGCE, which would enable you to teach. (Both available at University Centre, Doncaster.)
