Here's what University of Leeds says about its Theatre and Performance with Enterprise course.
Taught by the School of Performance and Cultural Industries, in collaboration with Leeds University Business School, this course will develop your knowledge and understanding of theatre, performance, cultural industries and entrepreneurship.
You’ll develop your own creative practice working collaboratively in our specialist studios, in our on-campus professional theatre, stage@leeds, and through using digital technologies. You’ll also work with external partners and community groups and be introduced to a range of devising, creative, organisational and management techniques.
The course will explore the historical and cultural contexts of theatre, innovations in practice, performance design, arts management, cultural theory, performance technologies, composition and devising, and the wider impact of the creative and cultural industries.
This programme blends a focus on 20th and 21st century theatre and performance practices with modules on business development, finance and social enterprise, delivered by collaborative partners in the Centre for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Studies.
In the final year you’ll apply your theoretical knowledge as a practitioner through an externally-facing project. By working in a small group or individually, you’ll manage and market student-led creative events in a community context or take on the role of consultant to a third sector enterprise.

Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
