What you study	Drama Fine Art	Fine Art Management	Drama Fine Art Music
What it is	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 study fine art alongside management and business skills, learning both how to make or curate art and how to run arts organizations or projects. This differs from a straight fine art degree because you gain practical training in budgets, planning, and leadership alongside studio work. It suits people who want careers in arts administration, gallery management, or running their own creative ventures rather than just making art.	You 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.
