About this course
Delivered by highly experienced practitioners in musical theatre and in the specialist teaching of performance work, this course offers access from first year onwards to training in musical theatre dance, singing and stage acting and students will select a focus which reflects their strengths in these different areas.
Complementing this is the specialist development of practical skills in vocal or dance teaching – within one of the largest performance departments in the UK.
Second and third year students can opt to audition for performance projects at the Alexandra Theatre, other regional theatres and in our own campus performance spaces.
Performance projects range from large scale musical theatre with full pit orchestra set and costume to straight plays, smaller ensemble projects and dance revues and you can also develop skills in technical theatre and arts management roles in supporting performance projects

Top job areas of graduates
The stats above mainly cover teaching degrees for training and qualifying in primary school education. These tend to be three or four-year courses — check with course tutors about how long you will need to study to get your Qualified Teacher Status. Most graduates go into teaching roles — usually primary school teaching, so these courses have good employment rates and starting salaries. We have a shortage of teachers of all kinds, which is deepening, and whilst many of the most severe are at secondary level, the prospects for this degree are not likely to take a downturn any time soon.
What about your long term prospects?
