The degree is divided into three dynamic strands: Performance, Socially Engaged Practices, and Production. These strands interweave, giving you a comprehensive understanding of how to create impactful work that speaks to diverse audiences and meets real-world needs.

Throughout your studies, you will deep dive into contemporary performance, discovering how today’s most innovative work is being created and produced. You will have the chance to develop your performance skills in both live performance and recorded settings; whether that’s through acting, voice work, film, radio, podcasts or presenting.

These collaborations will allow you to make a real impact, using your creativity to address the challenges faced by different communities while developing your skills in meaningful, hands-on projects.

Collaboration is a key component of this degree; you will have the chance to work with students from other departments across the university. This will broaden your perspective and deepen your understanding of creating and performing new work.

Technology is also at the heart of the teaching of the degree, empowering you to experiment with new mediums and enhance your creative work. You will explore how to blend the latest digital tools with traditional techniques to create performances that are relevant, engaging, and forward-thinking. You will also learn about industry workflows in film, radio and performance production.
