Course programme

Your first year will lay the foundations of the degree, with core modules introducing you to theories and approaches in theatre and performance and allowing you to explore them through different modes of practice. You’ll also choose from optional modules on different aspects of business and social enterprise, and explore further aspects of the cultural and creative industries.

In the following year you’ll continue with your theoretical examination as well as creative practice, exploring a variety of creative industries and enterprise contexts. You’ll also learn to apply different research methods and think about the political, historical, social and cultural contexts of performance practitioners. Compulsory study of enterprise includes modules dealing with entrepreneurship theory and practice and planning. You’ll choose from a range of optional modules to explore your interests, from dance to arts marketing or cultural history.

By your third year you’ll have more independence in your practice and research, producing a self-directed independent project and choosing how you’ll be assessed. You’ll try your hand at an enterprise project, which may provide a springboard to a future career. Other modules will allow you to explore important issues in the contemporary arts and cultural sector, with social aspects of enterprise involving networking and consultancy.
