What it isYou study drama, fine art, and music together, exploring creative expression across all three disciplines rather than choosing one. This program combines artistic training with a focus on how creative practices can support mental health and wellbeing in communities. It suits people who want to make art their path but also care about its impact on people and society.You study acting and performance, learning technique, character work, and stagecraft through classes and frequent performances. The BFA is a specialized, more intensive degree focused entirely on theatre and performance, while the BA lets you combine acting with other university subjects. This suits people who want hands-on training in acting and are ready to spend significant time rehearsing and performing.You earn two degrees at once: a Bachelor of Arts in Drama and a Bachelor of Education. Instead of studying drama for four years and then doing teacher training separately, you complete both programs together in four years, taking drama courses alongside mandatory education and teaching practicum work. This path suits students who want to teach drama or theatre in high schools and want to integrate their subject expertise with education training from the start.
