Overview
In 2018, 18.7 million of us went to the theatre in the UK, with box office revenue in London alone recorded at £633 million in 2015 (creativeindustries.co.uk). Whether you dream of being in the spotlight or working behind the scenes, there are many rewarding career options in the performing arts.
Studying performing arts at UCA will give you the confidence and skills to forge a career in this competitive sector. You’ll find that all of our courses place an emphasis on cross-course collaboration, with units engrained in the courses giving you the opportunity to seek out exciting projects among students in animation, film, music, fashion, gaming, television production and more. These creative communities on our campuses enable you to build a network of contacts that could form the bedrock of your future career.
Academics and technicians provide strong industry links and you’ll have opportunities to develop your skills and experience, via internships and work experience with household names like the Royal Opera House, National Theatre and Pinewood Studios.
Our graduates leave us with a deep understanding of the creative process, and impressive portfolios or showreels which demonstrate extensive experience of collaboration, creativity and passion.
