Performing Arts Studies is a programme for students who wish to pursue learning across a range of performance-based disciplines such as dance, drama, design, media and music.
The programme is designed to develop an understanding of the theory and practice of interdisciplinary performance activities in a variety of social and cultural contexts. It offers the intellectual challenge of creating and contextualising performance events.
This is available as a major for the Bachelor of Arts (BA).
