Course programme
The course does not have any formal examinations. All work is assignment based and these assignments are assessed by the team of tutorial staff who work on the Performing Arts programmes.
Students would normally have approximately 24 hours of teaching time during a week. However, students need to be available for the entire week. This allows staff to suspend the timetable and work together with students in the preparation for performances and assessments. Often this will entail working from 9.30am to 4.45pm each day.
When performances are given to the public, students will need to be available beyond the college day as performances are often held in the evening.
